Getting at it, even my mind won’t leave me alone!
9 Oct 2008 11:22am GMT I’ve read a number of books on how to write and on the creative process of writing and the one piece of advice I’ve kept with me is that you should cultivate the things that inspire you and avoid the things that demotivate you.
