When I wrote my 1st novel in Barbados, I could see the turquoise sea fifty feet from my desk. The sound of the ocean all day. Whenever I got stuck or wrote myself into a corner I'd jump in the water and find dragons and animals in the clouds. When I went back to my desk, the ideas flowed and I was able to navigate my way through. I was also motivated by my fellow writers. I knew I was living the writers dream, writing without the pressure of making the writing pay the bills and on top of that doing it from white sandy shores in the land of sunshine and rainbows with 330 beautiful days a year. I owed it to my fellow writers not to waste tis golden ticket and to sit my ass at my desk and write a good novel. I kept a timesheet, wrote for 4-6 hours a day, 5 days a week, hired two editors and put out an award winning novel. My Substack is called Writing Fiction On The Beach, chriskjones.substack.com. the second book in my Headcase series is serialized on Substack.
