We’re always keen to add to our writing article database so if you have something worth sharing please let us know.
We all know that a blog is an online diary or journal, but what is a blog not? A blog is not a website. Blogs can be updated quickly and easily, and as in a conventional diary or log, entries are posted in chronological order, but they are read in reverse chronological order. This means that although a blog can accommodate your novel, it’s not an easy prospect because it is not what the blog was designed to do.

It having been a while since I had performed, or indeed left the house, I decided to go for it. I still had a box full of books under the bed, and they were only gathering dust there, so I checked I could take some along to try and piggy back some sales off the other author’s launch.
Earning a living as a writer means accepting that you will be a failure every day. I must send out 20 ideas a week to magazine editors and if I’m lucky, one will bite back with a ‘sounds interesting, let me have a look and I’ll see’.
