10 Key Factors for Writing Non-fiction

Three cheers for enthusiasm

We really are very lucky. I know that this may sound rather hollow in the light of over 4 million people out of work in Spain, and persistently gloomy economic news.  But if we keep things in perspective, we’re bound to reach the conclusion that we’re fortunate to be alive today and not at some time in the past.
