Where Do You Get Your Ideas?
One question authors invariably get asked is: where do you get your ideas from? It's a difficult question to answer sometimes, because at times we don't know where the ideas come from. They seem to creep uninvited into our heads and won't go away until we write them down.
But sometimes, however, we know exactly where our ideas come from. I've just sold a short story called "Now Departing", and I c Read more of this blog post »

| I bought this book after watching the TV adaption of it in the hopes that it would explain the glaring plot problems in the show. Instead, it answered less questions than the show. A good idea, but inadequately explained and dealt with. | |

“There's always the possibility that you're going to come across a record that transforms your life. And it happens weekly. It's like a leaf on the stream. There are little currents and eddies and sticks lying in the water that nudge you in a slightly different direction. And then you break loose and carry on down the current. There's nothing that actually stops you and lifts you out of the water and puts you on the bank but there are diversions and distractions and alarums and excursions which is what makes life interesting really. It's fantastic.”
