    Today on my blog I'm discussing my Sorcerers and Wizards Theory of Creative Writing.

    http://unexplodedtruths.com/

    "In writing, like in dungeons and dragons, there are sorcerers and there are wizards. Wizards ply their trade through advanced study and a high-level understanding of the rules and structure of magic. Sorcerers draw on guesswork, innate ability, practice and charisma. There’s no point asking a sorcerer why he just changed tense, he doesn’t know."

    If anyone fancies popping over and giving it a read, or even leaving a comment... You never know, in the long chain of causality, it might actually save the world.

    In fact, I'll even put my cards on the table and say, I can't guarantee that it won't save the world.
