I was sitting in my lecture, bored out of my mind, when some ideas for my current book popped into my head. If I’d been sitting in front of the PC still, I doubt that those ideas would’ve came to me, but the outside world stirred them and VOILA, next Monday, I’ll be adding them to my story!
My dream was to be a writer for a living. If I sell enough books to do this, I’ll still probably do it, but if not, it’s not the end of the world. The world can bring out so much that sitting in front of your laptop can’t, so if I’m one of those authors who only generates 10,000 or less pounds a year, so be it.
