I’ve been working on planning out my latest novel over the last few days. This is a novel which for some time has been unable to be planned – in that it just doesn’t seem to ‘want’ any kind of plan or preparation to go down on paper. (In writing, at least). I got wise, [...]

Via the Wright Creativity Blog, I was led to read an article at WebMD which suggests that certain findings have been found towards some colours effecting our creativity, equally applicable towards writing I’m sure. I decided this was worth further investigation.

The Components of a Writing Business Plan

I used to work in I.T. and was a very good writer of Test Plans and Strategies, of juggling budgets (which weren’t really mine) with bodies, and facilitating a compromise over the overall business product sales goals with the time given to [...]
