Which of these topics should I write about?' asks a novelist on Facebook. 'Remember, I'm not doing this for fun. I'm trying to make money.'
I don't know her well enough to say, 'In that case, try advertising copy or technical reports. When it comes to creative writing, if you're not having fun your readers won't either. And that means they won't keep reading.'
(Though actually, I imagine the advertising copy could be fun.)

As I live Down Under in the Southern Hemisphere, those of you Up Top might have to wait a while to see your comments appear. I may well be asleep when you read and post. Don't panic, nothing's gone wrong and you don't need to do anything – just wait.
