A few weeks back, novelist, screenwriter and general tornado David Bishop ran an excellent workshop on novel writing in Dumfries. Sadly, a few people had to be turned away, but don't despair - David has kindly provided an online version, which is now on the DG Writers' Hub right here. He takes a refreshingly realistic look at the life of a working writer. Essential reading for anyone with that novel still inside them, and wondering how to bring it out.
'...You enjoy the physical process of working with words. You experience a vicarious thrill from entering the worlds within your imagination, from being surprised by your characters and your choices...'
'...books are written one word, one sentence, one paragraph and one page at a time...'
