Learn about writing and I.T. to support you!
Here’s the rub. Most of us use one side of our brains more than the other. Some are right-brain creatives, never stuck for an idea or a way to intuitively show people how to achieve success. Some of us are left-brain logisticians, brilliant at obtaining workable results from approaching things methodically.
That can cause problems. The highly creative may struggle with the technology that would help them, while the logical may struggle with creative flow. Writing is creative. Technology is logical. Put the two together and you get top-notch brain power …
So on our site, we combine two people’s brains (Rob is predominantly left-brain, Dawn is right – no pun intended) to provide creativity with a twist, making full use of all that IT has to offer to those who write, expressed in a clear and helpful way. If you write novels, blogs, essays, letters or even simple tweets, then we can help you in getting IT write.
Here is the simple test.

Writing during the pandemic … or not

What The Archers teaches us about dialogue
For some peculiar reason, I am, like 5 million others, a follower of Radio 4's The Archers. My daily 13-minute listen in to the "tales of everyday farming folk" keeps me gripped. Some of the characters I dislike, some I despair of, and others I think are fun. It is...
My story is stuck …
Sometimes we start work on a story or a narrative and get stuck along the way. What to do if the old writer's block steps in? Well, I have always been a lover of options. So, if you come to a full stop in your story, ask those crucial two words: what if? What if...
