Focus on WHY

Cataloguing the fall of an empire prompted an instant love affair with Russia. Moving on to explore various Babylonian worlds, the lure of black magic transported her back into the heart of St Petersburg. Whether she is ghostwriting or writing about witches, her books speak volumes. Honing her state of flow to channel her writing with a clear Focus on WHY, award-winning journalist, broadcaster, novelist and screenwriter Imogen Edwards-Jones describes what it is like to be a spectator in your own mind.

KEY TAKEAWAY

“Sometimes you're a spectator in your own mind. So you are basically just recording what's being played out in your head.”
