Honestly, dialogue is a weird area for me. It just comes naturally; I know I'm quite good at it, but I can't actually tell you why or how in any detail. Antony Johnston areadetaildialogue Change image and share on social
I enthuse about Scrivener to all of my friends. Some of them even listen to me and download it. This is often swiftly followed by an email complaining that it's all very confusing, and they'll stick to Microsoft Word, thanks. Antony Johnston complainconfusedownload share on social
The Fuse is a solar energy station in orbit 22,000 miles above the earth. But it's more than just a big solar panel array. The Fuse is also home to Midway City, a technically illegal settlement that grew out of a bunch of engineers who decided they'd rather make a new life in space than return home to earth.

'Daredevil: Season One' is kind of in-between. On the one hand, sure, it's a graphic novel.

I sometimes see People On The Internet decrying work-in-progress tweets and posts as worthless. 'Measuring output by quantity rather than quality is dangerous,' they say. 'More work doesn't mean better work!' Antony Johnston dangerousdecryinternet share on social
It is easier to rewrite anything - even the worst writing in the world - than it is to write something from scratch. Antony Johnston badeasyrewrite Change image and share on social
Scrivener can be a tricky beast to get your head around. When you do, a bell rings, and suddenly it all seems perfectly clear. But to reach that stage you have to understand what it can do, and try it out for yourself. Which can be daunting. Antony Johnston beastbellclear share on social
