The writing! The ideas and where my characters take me. That eureka moment when you've been stuck with something and BAM! the answer hits me.

More quotes by Adele Broadbent

Go and do something else. Have a rest from it for a while - could be an hour, could be a week. The answer usually shows itself and I'm away again.

I used to worry about not having ideas to work on, but found the less I worried about it and kept my eyes and mind open to things around me - the ideas came all on their own. I love people and thinking about how they tick, why they do things and what happens next!
