To manuscriptx, have you tried using Google Documents? I use this when I'm at work and get inspired about something so I can then access it at home (or anywhere else I happen to be). Also you can get hold of some very cheap laptops. If you're just using it as a glorified word processor you don't...

I'd suggest Raymond E Feist, Ian Irvine and Robin Hobb. As for which ones, check Amazon.:)

I think this is what stood out most for me: How did he get hold of all that? Didn't someone think, hang on, what does he need with that?

Ah, yes, restoring old axes. A fine and noble pasttime.

With an axe, same as any self-respecting wild fowl.

I write. I've got a bunch of short stories that I'm meant to be hawking round various magazines plus a few that I'm working on. I've also got ideas for a few novels. I've written various bits of notes and research and couple of paragraphs for these. I'm a journalist so I've had work...

Short stories Do a google search for the type of stories you want to write. I've done that before and come up with a whole load and those were only in the UK. If you widen it worldwide, there'll be plenty. Money If you're writing for cash, give up on being a novelist now and become a...

I read one of Dawkins's books a while back. I can't remember now if it was The Blind Watchmaker or The Selfish Gene, although I think it was the former. I really enjoyed it. The writing was clear and entertaining and provided much food for thought. I didn't agree with everything Dawkins was...

Depends how hungry I get.

I find that once a couple of children have gone missing after knocking on your door, parents tend to keep them away.

Two questions: isn't all publishing vanity publishing? And what's so wrong with vanity anyway? People have been self-publishing for years - it was good enough for William Blake. Self-publishing has an awful lot going for it. It's incredibly difficult to get publishers to even take a look at...

I'm just over four years younger than I am. Yay me!

I try to celebrate anything that involves alcohol really.

The main difference I noticed was that the films were good.

Softback, they're easier to carry around. Pen, always. Paper clip. They can be removed and reused, and it's fun to unwind them when I'm bored. Holding in hand. Shelving, if possible, but circumstances tend to force me to pile 'em up everywhere! All three, occasionally even at the same...

Ok, I was being diplomatic! It really wasn't very good at all.

Fifty words isn't very much. Isn't that very limiting? I definitely prefer the idea of a longer word count. I was thinking that without a 'due by' date, as it were, you'd end up getting people starting and then never getting around to finishing or posting. But 500 words isn't so hard to...

I've recently finished Human Traces. It's the only Faulkes I've read so I haven't got anything to compare it to, but I thought it was fantastic. Huge in scope, it covers decades, continents and lives. Following a chance meeting in a French town, two boys embark on a journey on which they...

It's really difficult to say one show is my all-time favourite, but if I had to pick one I think I'd go for Firefly too. I loved Buffy and Angel but I think Firefly was on a whole different level. There was so much that could have been done with it, it's such a shame it was cancelled...
