The Internet is a very time-consuming place. At best. At its worst it's a very time-wasting place. The question is: How responsible are you for wasting the time of others?

You don't have time to follow what all your friends are doing; do they have the time to keep abreast of everything that's new in your life. Do you ever wonder if all of this is a bit pointless?

"Aspiring and established writers think of great ideas at strangest times. How many times have you thought of an amazing concept that evaporated away because you didn't find the time to write it down?"

All of us spend way too much time online. The big question is: How well is that time spent? We read things and, five minutes later, couldn't tell you what we've read. We post blogs and update our Facebook status and imagine there are people who are really interested but are they-and we, of course-only going through the motions of showing interest? And woe betide you if you're trying to sell something to your peers because the odds are they're trying to sell something to you and if they buy what you're offering and you buy what they're offering isn't that all a bit pointless? Step back, take off the pink-tinted glasses and have a fresh look at your online habits.

People who don't write for living think it's easy to be an author. All you need to do is have an idea and find the time to write the piece you've envisioned. However, real writers know better: ideas can be torturing and they have to spend loads of time to research, think, write, and edit to perfection. Even a short article can consume days of a perfectionist's life.

Picture this. You've spent hours or days conceptualizing and writing a killer short story, article, or blog post. Your time has had to be organized, you've forgotten about everything else and now you're ready to face yourself with all the ideas inside your mind.

When Freya North wrote Sally and I thought, hang on, I could do that too. I was a journalist on the daily express at the time, and had read Nick Hornby's High Fidelity and realized no-one was doing this for women. Little did I know that Helen Fielding was in her flat a mile away crafting Bridget Jones's Diary. When did you take a step to start writing? I was already a journalist.

I think a year. How long did it take you to complete your latest book from the first idea to release?
