Thriller writing is not always that thrilling but it is well worth the sloughs that all writers face. One of the problems is fitting what you want to write, in this case the thriller, around what you have to write to pay the bills. Other writing tasks often get in the way of the thriller. The problem is that when it comes to actually sitting there and writing, or posting what you have written, you can’t follow Chandler’s advice and have a man come on with a gun.It seems to me that other writing tasks will always be there. The trick is to allow yourself some personal writing time – then you can get on with writing the thriller.

I love reading and writing thrillers. I can discuss the genre for hours and not get tired. I also love writing and would like to pass that love onto others. The more stuff that is out there the more we all benefit.
