Or it was one of your best subjects at school.\r\n\r\nPerhaps this is something that\u2019s crept up on you, the feeling that writing is something you should be doing, that you need to be doing.\r\n\r\nMaybe you\u2019ve even started, secretly opening a document called \u2018My novel\u2019 and beginning to write \u2013 and then getting nowhere, flummoxed by what to do next. Or maybe you read the weekend papers or your favourite website and think, \u201cI could write something like that!\u201d\r\n\r\nIf so, you\u2019re in the right place.\r\n
