Do you intend to give books as presents this Christmas

Any types of books. Perhaps you are thinking of buying a close relation a Kindle.

What present would you like that might assist you in becoming a writer?

I do! This:

I've just ordered ten copies of a book I made to give to friends and relatives for Christmas.

It's a Homesteading Diary and published on Blurb - so some of it is very specific to running this place, but it's very pretty and I love the animated apple tree. I hope that people will find it useful as a diary or notebook - even if the weekly list of domestic tasks will be mostly things they don't need to do.

Hmm - would you ever give a book you've created yourself as a present!!!

I hardly ever buy books because people know what they are before they've opened them which takes the fun out of it. My family must feel the same because I think the last book I got for Christmas was when I was seven.

Tell a lie, I think I got a Patrick Moore book on the stars 15 years ago!
