    About this ebook

    AUTHOR INTERVIEW

    How did you come to write this book?

    I set myself the task of running a wiki blog for two years where every single day I wrote personal reflections on the process of writing and my experience as a writer.

    What made you decide to publish the posts as a book?

    Firstly the responses from beginning writers showed me the interest in the process of writing from a personal point of view. Secondly I wanted a non-fiction title to attract readers to my fiction titles.

    How did these posts become a book?

    At the end of the two years I simply organised and edited my posts to give them a greater sense of connection.
