Last night enjoyed dark secrets and naughty laughter watching @CraigyFerg at the casino near our house. Sadly, he apparently is no longer travelling the land solving crimes. But he's still funny, very funny.

If you can't afford to buy books, check your local PUBLIC library's website. See what digital services they offer. Those services actually PAY for the books they loan (like any real library does). If you wouldn't pick an author's pocket for change in person, don't do it online.

As a writer, some things you must learn to do: research, write & revise. If someone else is doing it for you, you're not being a writer.
A strongly visual learner and writer, I often find photos to represent the characters that I'm writing about. It helps me see them as real.
Revision is a bit like a rousing game of Jenga while on a ship at sea in a storm. Pull the wrong piece and it all falls apart. No pressure.
