So much of the creative process mystery. How much of what we do as creators do we actually understand—and how much do we even need to? As a writer, I don't know how I do what, and as important as it is to examine our process, there's also mystery at the heart of the creative endeavour that makes it magical.

Where do you go when you? What does your physical creative space look like? And where do you go in your consciousness? If I were to describe the space in my mind where the writing happens it would probably be Elsewhere.

How does a story start for you? Each writer has their own particular way into a piece. For me, it's usually a voice, the narrator or the character speaking to me, though sometimes it can be an image or a theme. For some writers, it's a question that's really starts them writing.

Heather Debling

Revision can often give free rein to the voice of the inner critic so that more judgement enters the writing process. How can we approach this part of the process with a spirit of practice and also forgiveness?

I have a tendency to focus on planning and structure but when doesn't planning veer into overplanning? Reading The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp always reminds me to leave behind the pretend security blanket of control and leave more space for accidents and mystery.

La Belle Epoque

La Belle Epoque is an era in French history towards the end of the 1800s in which optimism and joie de vivre blossomed. We pay homage to Courvoisier and Café Royal’s rich history shared during La Belle Epoque, both as the preferred haunt and libation of Paris’s and London’s high society, with a selection of six new cocktails and interiors that hark back to “the beautiful period”, in the hope of creating new, beautifully composed experiences for our guests to share.

Published in 1937 by the head bartender of the Café Royal, William J Tarling, the Café Royal cocktail book has since acted as a beacon for bartenders near and far.
