I've Never Actually Been A Fighter Myself

I Don't Think I Prefer Writing For One Age Group Above Another. I Am Just As Pleased With A Story Which I Feel Works Well For Very Small Children As I Do With A Story For Young Adults.

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.

Of Course There Are Big Differences In Length And Character And Vocabulary, But Each Level Has Its Particular Pleasures When It Comes To The Words One Can Use And The Way One Uses Them.

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.

I Am Really Chained To My Computer These Days So I Work In My Bedroom, Which Is A Room I Have Worked In For Years And Years. It Is Just As Much An Office As A Bedroom, And During The Day, My Bed Is Rather Like An Extension Of My Desk.
