Useful YouTube Videos for Authors

How I wrote my first novel
I’ve been wanting to be a writer since I was 8. Now 45 years later, here’s how I finally managed it…
Getting Started
Why is it so hard to get started on a new project? Or to restart an old one that’s been put aside for a few months?
Save the Cat
If you’d like to write a novel but don’t know how to begin, Save The Cat Writes a Novel is a great book to read.
Motivation
How do you keep writing? Should you write every day, even when you don’t feel like it? Or wait for inspiration to strike?

Four Book Reviews
Four very different but equally wonderful books including a quirky and rather brilliant debut novel.
