Insomnia has that wonderful benefit of giving your "mind" a chance to solve every problem in your life. Quite often the mind in it's procrastination of sleep has come up with solutions to end world hunger, to help bridge the gap between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians, redesigned a bedroom and written the perfect article for the publication I am working for and this is all in the first hour. The mind has also come up with the ideal first line to the novel I want to write but never get around to.  But what do people want to read about. do they want a true story? do they want to read about "supernatural phenomena"?what makes a story a good story?

Even if you know where to start - when do you work out when to stop?
