Reading opens the mind, brings you to a world of which you know little or nothing. The thoughts expressed by the author or the author’s characters can make you reflect on your own. I love to write because I discover characters and stories as I go along. I only have a general idea when I start. Every day I discover something new. What are your tried and tested remedies to cure writer’s block? Reading! Reading! I get excited by someone’s beautiful writing and or story and I’m spurned to hit those keys again.

What’s the best piece of writing advice you’ve ever received and would like to impart to other writers?
