Apparently (according to Wiki - and more about them tomorrow) this is a misquote, but we're all familiar with the concept from the film 'Field of Dreams' of just doing it, however daft and impossible it seems, and having faith that it'll all work out. In the film it was about building a baseball pitch in the middle of nowhere. In my blog post today it's about putting up a niger seed feeder in the garden. In my life, it's about writing Stonewylde.

Sorry for the even blurrier photo today but this one really would contain spoilers. It's the page where I've outlined the five acts of the book and also detailed the inciting incident and resolution in each. And once again you can see Magus peacefully curled up in a very useful supporting role of keeping me company whilst I plot and plan.

Now before anyone says anything, yes I know that two of these images are blurred! They're meant to be - I can't give away any secrets, can I? I used the "soft focus" tool on Picasa and I'm hoping that nobody will be able to actually read any of the planning notes.

This is my last Room of One's Own post. Hopefully by now you're all feeling at home in my writing room. The photos are of my Stonewylde reference books - such a huge luxury to have them all together like this. I have hundreds and hundreds of books and previously, they were scattered all over the house and in the attic. Since moving to this house, I've been able to sort them out.

So ... the cup of tea. I'd just finished painting my room, ready to start Book 5 after Yule. It was now almost the end of November and pretty hectic. We'd been in our new home less than a month and were still surrounded by boxes. Yule was approaching - always very busy for us as all my children come home for the duration, plus one of my sisters, and then we have many other family visitors to stay during the holiday period too. But I'd already arranged an extensive Waterstones book-signing tour to promote the four books published this year and had to honour all the engagements.

Since meeting Mr B over six years ago, we've been living together in rented houses. This October, finally, we bought our own house together. There'll be lots more about this house as it's so lovely and the garden is just wonderful. But one of the exciting things about the house is that finally, I have a room of my own in which to write.
