About this site

CompassThis site is all about writing, in one way or another. If you are interested in reading or writing or both, this blog and site is for you. I hope you enjoy it – the aim is to both entertain and inform.

Writers are always being asked such things as ‘where do you get your inspiration?’ ‘Why do you write?’  ‘Are your characters based on real people?’ and similar questions.

I hope to post about some of these topics, both from my own point of view and also to share the thoughts and processes of other writers. I will also suggest some wonderful books that will throw further light on the subject.

Some of the headings are self-explanatory. Others less so. So I’ll run through them so that you can decide which bits you’d like to explore first. Though I hope in time you will follow all of them.
