So, I’d been wondering what to write about this week and then struck pay-dirt when I was having a conversation with a very good Twitter friend. How do you go about creating characters for your book?

So… You’re trying to find an Agent?I feel your pain! The road to writing and publishing a book seems so clear when you start out. There’s kind of a road map to get you from point A to point B and so on…at least there is at first. Problem is that map becomes more obscure…
The scariest bit about being a writer – for me at least – is the neuroses it brings out in me. So, here it is, the dirty truth laid bare… I don’t believe I’m very good at anything. Truly, I don’t. I have a deep-rooted envy of people who brim with self-confidence. The kind of…
