Every now and then itβs nice to pick your head up from your book, have a good look at the world around you, take a hard pass and immediately go right back to reading. Balance is important. Posted by Jonathan Edward Durham

No, I donβt use AI. I write because I love writing, not because I want to churn out books. I love creating worlds, people, imaginary livesβ¦ writing fiction is one of the greatest joys of my life. Even if no-one read a word of it, Iβd still write. #writingcommunity #authorlife

I have a notebook for ideas but these days Iβve pretty much given up on writing short stories and Iβm happy to immerse myself in my current novel. Those story ideas will probably never escape the notebook!

Itβs a strangely cosy book, isnβt it? Although I read one of her short stories, White Rabbits, just a few weeks ago, and that was proper horror. Too horror for me!

Yes! I started The Magic Mountain in my 20s and didnβt finish it - I was too busy then to get stuck into a serious book. Interesting how the way we relate to books is affected by whatβs happening in our lives at the time. Reading is such a subjective experience. Which is why itβs wonderful!

Really enjoying this. I didnβt like Cold Comfort Farm when I had to read it at school, but I appreciate Stella Gibbonsβ writing much more as an adult. I think it kills books if you read them too young #amreading
