As writers, we tend to work alone, with only the dog at our feet for company and coffee stains on our desk to remind us to eat and drink.
Where office workers battle the daily distractions of bored colleagues and demanding bosses, we can let our creative minds bob about in relative peace and quiet (save for the neighbour mowing his lawns).
But, there is one major disadvantage to working alone - there's no-one to ask, 'Hey, Gazza, is this metaphor appropriate?' or 'Shazza, would you use a semi-colon in this sentence?' or 'Bazza, can you read my pitch to the publisher and tell me what you think?' or 'Kazza, is 9.15 am too early for a wine?'
There's no-one for you to bounce ideas off, ask questions, discuss the news of the day.
This is where WriteSmart comes in. You have this blog's community of writers - aspiring and experienced - to liaise with.
Feel free to post your questions, thoughts, musings and responses here in the comments column and myself, and others, will respond.
If you want me to write an article on a certain aspect of writing or getting published, ask away and, if it's appropriate, I will do my best to drum up a tailor-made post.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
