Hi All

Just entered my first writing competition in 7 years after various health issues and life events conspired to take away the spark. 

Regardless of the outcome it felt good to apply myself to regular and consistent periods of writing and although I only had to write the first chapter and synopsis for the competition I actually completed a whole novel! 

Thanks also go out to Richard Elder, Victoria Whithear and Jonathan Hopkins for their wise words which proved invaluable in getting my synopsis done.

It's hard, but - start early. The earlier you start thinking about an essay topic, the more time you'll have to gather material. When your brain is set on thinking about an issue, it's as if the information itself comes to myhomeworkdone reviews.

The same thing happens when you memorize a new word: it starts to seem like it occurs more often in the text. It's because you become more receptive to a certain type of information, paying more attention to it.

Hello. I have a question about using the names of real products and companies in a fictional story I am writing. It is based in England and Scotland and all the characters are purely fictional, but to add a touch of reality I'd like to add some real references, some of which include; The Caledonian Sleeper (train), Pot Noodles, Land Rover, Raleigh bicycles, Dalwhinnie Distillery, Fort George (Historic Scotland). Do I need to seek permission? Are the names protected? Or can I just add them to the story without asking? Thank you in advance for your replies. ANDY
