A Writerly Advent Calendar - Window No. 10

-

Books, books, books - we writers can't get enough of them so why not give your writerly friend a book voucher? There are so many places that you could buy a voucher for. There are book chains such as Waterstones, monster retailers like Amazon, and there are even independent book stores that sell vouchers too. If your friend prefers ebooks, then there's the Kindle store, the Kobo store or whichever store sells for the e-reader device your friend has.

Books can be such a personal choice. A book voucher leaves that choice, and the enjoyment of having that choice, up to the gift-receiver.

I always loved this building and now it has provided the inspiration for Darkacre School in my novel. Photograph taken by Dan Howard of 500px.com York Minster (from my home town) was the inspiration for the cathedral where Rex Haven's funeral takes place in my novel. Taken from www.rightmove.co.uk The terraces of the South Bank area of York, where I lived for a time, are the streets of the old town in my novel. The details don't have to remain the same - we writers are tailors of imagination after all - but basing our story locations in reality can add a grounding element to our writing that convinces our readers. What real locations have you used in your wr

She Writes B&W Blogger Ball

I only recently came across the term 'blog hop'. Am I the only one who hadn't heard of this before?

It's a way to create new connections, boost the number of visitors to your site and generally have a bit of a party. Today I signed up to take part in my first blog hop for members of the She Writes Books and Writing group. I always enjoy finding new interesting blogs and forging fresh alliances so I'd like to welcome all my fellow She Writes blog hoppers to my blog. I hope you enjoy reading my posts.
