Alexandra Potter Writer’s Tip

“Writing is very very hard, and I think it’s important for published authors such as myself, to stand up and say “I find it hard too!!” If it was easy everyone would be publishing books left, right and centre. From my personal experience, you have to have masses of determination. A book takes me 18 months, from the idea to handing in the finished manuscript. I have to keep the enthusiasm and the energy going for my characters and story, even when I’ve had writer’s block for weeks and I can’t get a difficult scene to work, or the plot isn’t working out, or an idea isn’t working. You can’t give up. You have to believe in yourself and just keep going.”
