If you love both gardening and writing much is dependent on the weather. Autumn, even with a small garden, is a time for tidying and bulb planting, but also refreshing with as much colour as you can bring back from the garden centre. If the sun is shining after a night of rain, it is a treat to the senses to be digging and watching bees buzzing round late summer flowers, but your writer demon is tapping on your shoulder.

Wouldn’t you like it to pour with rain so you can get back to your computer. You haven’t touched your novel, your website is weary and you haven’t LIKED the posts of your fellow authors on Facebook…

But I have found time to dust and vacuum my website so do visit http://www.ccsidewriter.co.uk where the sun is always shining.
