My Writing Process

When you announce that #iamwriting, everybody and the kitchen sink starts asking you two questions -

  1. “How is your book coming along?”

  2. “What’s your writing process?”

I can answer the second question more easily (the first is something along the lines of “it’s coming, it’s coming…”.

Here’s my collection of the best writing processes, resources and opinions which work for me. Your processes will differ.

The Storyworld and my Real World

My storyworld is based close to a small English village and set in contemporary life. But there’s a little smidge of fantasy and mythology inside this world.

In real life I now live back down under. Australia has its own shapes and shadows of fantasy.

Above you will find associated freebies.

And in the RAR area, you’ll find storyworld elements under Art or Research.
