What a time. We emerged from Covid - well, not entirely - to find a Russian maniac has declared war on an innocent nation. So what do you do, in a time like this, about promoting your book? Or even writing – all creative endeavours seem so puny compared with those losing their lives. I found this post by Kate McKean to be really helpful and please know this - I want to hear about your books and your writing. As Kate says, the one thing does not negate the other - and let's not let the Russian maniac destroy everything good in this world. 

Fabulous insights into Christopher Walken's unique delivery and tone! This may be a game-changer when it comes to writing prose! 

Also, E.E. Cummings and a poem that brings joy to my heart every single time.

You simply can't go wrong with words of wisdom from Margaret Atwood on how to succeed as an author!

"Feeling lousy? Depressed? Like a failure? As if what you’re doing at the moment is futile?" 

This post will inspire writers the world over - we've got this! Let's be fabulous, slightly nuts and live life our way! 

Featuring Patricia Highsmith. 

Are you struggling to read during this time of Covid? Are you struggling to finish reading a book you've picked up? And, if you're a writer, are you struggling to write? This post will help lift you out of the doldrums!
