There's A Lot Of Things You Can

I Was Able To Work Out All Sorts Of Attitudes To Style And Event And Character, All Of Which Affected The Way I Came To Think About My Own Writing. I Believe That All Good Writers Are Original.

I, Personally, Have Found Reading A Continual Support To Writing.

Reading Is Very Creative - It's Not Just A Passive Thing. I Write A Story; It Goes Out Into The World; Somebody Reads It And, By Reading It, Completes It.

The Novels Take Longer To Write Than The Picture Book Texts, And They Do Take A Different Sort Of Concentration. However, A Very Short, Simple Story That Works Well Is Just As Exciting To Me As Any Longer And More Complex Book.

Family!... You Might Just As Well Celebrate Battle, Murder And Sudden Death.
