Whistling in the dark

    I like this post on the act of writing, and while I'd never thought of readers as having feline tendencies and writers canine ones - as Patricia Hampl says in that extract - it's a fair analogy!

    Drafts and notebooks have been the subject of a few posts in the Cornflower Books archives, and there are links to several of them here.
