Monday—being the start of the ‘work week’ in
several ways—is a good day to talk about motivation.
Like every other writer, there are times when I
get a story idea that excites me, and I sit down to write around it.
Eventually, I emerge with a novel that I think makes a good read. My follow-up
novel to my debut offering, Contraband,
is one such story. I’ve been sitting on it for ages, having written and edited
it. That was a stroke of luck, but hold on, I’m coming back to this.
