A few days ago I wrote about the five lessons that I have started using. Today I am starting a sixth that I learned about in a YouTube video by Alexis Kingsley which is well worth watching if you have three minutes to spare.
The lesson is to create an environment where success is inevitable. She describes it like planting a seed and providing all the water, soil, and sunlight it needs in order to bloom. That’s what I am trying to do for writing. As yet, I don’t have any practical idea for what that means, but it’s such an interesting idea that I want to keep coming back to it and seeing if it is something that I can put in place.

On the writing side of things, I am making good progress with The Storm, and I have really turned a corner with my planning for The List. I have come up with some changes that are going to have a big impact on that story. The Last Outpost has now been submitted to Amazon, and I’m just waiting for it to be approved. Hopefully it will be available from tomorrow.
