Who’s Writing This Novel?

The answer to that question is “not me.” I have not been writing for the past month or two, and I am trying to work out why I stopped. I took time around April to work out my outline which was a change for me. I generally have a rough idea of a few scenesContinue reading “Who’s Writing This Novel?”
