Not tonight, head too full of the X Factor but people keep e-mailing me for advice about writing novels. They e-mail about getting published too. And for some reason I have just had a little flurry of questions about that famous illness 'Writer`s Block,'  or, as I prefer to call it, just Getting Stuck.

So I`ll start something on this here tomorrow, then those who have e-mailed can read it and it may mop up some who might have e-mailed about it all but did not.

Not that I`m any sort of Guru but I can tell it how it is for me after about 1,000 years being a writer and unqualified to talk about anything else, except how to rid two Border Terriers of in-depth mud.
