The Ruminative Rambles of Writers
Welcome to Linderson Creations! Home to aspiring authors Ashley Lindsay and Sarah Anderson.
Here on our blog you can stay updated with our weekly happenings, and learn more about our writing process and current projects. We publish to the blog every Monday—or rather, every Tuesday for those of you who live in futuristic timezones such as New Zealand and Australia.
We now also have a podcast, Dear Writer, which publishes once monthly. For some lively banter about the journey of two (slightly nerdy) rookie novelists, tune in here.
Dealing with Dominoes
As is so often the case with the first set of edits, I’m finding it more challenging and time-consuming than actually writing the book.
The Fear of being Read
When Sarah and I first started working on our novels, the prospect of sending our work off to our first readers was daunting.

Starting to Finish: Thoughts on writing a novel
I sit here, writing this blog post, having just started my last chapter in the third book of our series; Darkness, Set us Free.
Dream A Little Dream

Reading the Competition
One of the bonuses of being in a strictly enforced lockdown with no where to go, no one to visit, and nothing to do (except attempt to work from home) is the sudden windfall of time on my hands.
There Are No Words
Some people will tell you writer’s block doesn’t exist. I'm here to say they're wrong. But that doesn't mean that you can't beat it.
In Your Own Backyard
How do you write about a place you’ve never been to? How do you convey the distinctive feeling and atmosphere of somewhere unfamiliar?
Navigating the Crisis of COVID-19
Let me be clear here: I’m not aiming to scare you, but only to educate, because not everyone is taking this as seriously as they should.
