Hmm.
When I am driving, I cannot write ideas down.
Sometimes I stop and perform a braindump before it, the idea, vapourises into nothingness.
Sometimes this means making an audio note on my mobile phone, other times it means my writing it on whatever is to hand.
This morning it meant dictating it to J, who was in the back of the car en route to school.





This afternoon saw the previously mentioned photoshoot occurring at the local art gallery.
The purpose being to promote the creative writing project that I will be running soon.
Hopefully the article will get some local people to come forward who knew Helen Bradley.
It'd be a great help.

Every writing project competes in the marketplace. It's important to know your competition.

I think it is also important to know your marketplace. Most people I've come across are just writing without paying any attention whatsoever to who might actually read their output, assuming of course that they want someone to read their output! The trouble with markets is that the consumer (hate that word) has far too much choice in this, our 21st, century. The marketplace is global. It's in peoples phones, computers and televisions. They can consume 24-7, but how are they to discern? Write for your ideal reader and you won't go far wrong. It is important to have someone in mind when you put pen to paper, otherwise you may as well, to a great extent, be writing in your diary.
