Some authors describe it as the initial itch. For others, it’s a kind intuition or series of connections – as when you notice the same word some days in a row. Often, it’s so vague that you’re barely aware of it as a thought. It drifts in and out of your consciousness like the forgotten name of a childhood friend or that word you’ve been trying to remember for days. It’s that magical and precious thing: an idea for a novel.
