I Wish I Was Away In Ingo

When You Are Young You Don't Always Realise How Full Of Doubts Everybody Is.

Once One Habit Peels Away The Others Follow It. You Have To Hold On, Or The Next Thing You'll Find Yourself Parading Down The Street In Your Nightdress. Habit Is Everything.

A Novel, In The End, Is A Container, A Shape Which You Are Trying To Pour Your Story Into.

I Hope That Readers Will Tear Through My Books Because They Can't Stop Themselves - And Then, Maybe, Read Them Again And Find New Things There.

The Language Has Got To Be Fully Alive - I Can't Bear Dull, Flaccid Writing Myself And I Don't See Why Any Reader Should Put Up With It.
