Just keep typing something until the words flow again. Or skip a section you are struggling with and jump ahead. Inspiration comes back but you can't force it. I fall asleep planning the twists in the story, so more often than not I am desperate to write as soon as I wake up!

Just write something - anything! It doesn't matter in the early stages if you don't like the words when you read them back, or if you story doesn't take shape immediately. You will return to your manuscript so many times (trust me - I know) to change, improve and sculpt. You may not even publish your early efforts. None of this matters, writing is all.

The sequel to A Bed of Barley Straw. The first book is a 'stand alone' novel, but I want to develop the story and take my characters further.

The idea had been brewing in my mind for years, but the characters and plot found me and grew when I put pen to paper - or fingers to keyboard!
