Once you get into the world of dystopia, it's hard to avoid plagiarism, because other people have had such powerful visions.
From Anthony Horowitz
I love the idea that magic and witchcraft and battles between supernatural creatures could be raging all around us but just out of our sight.
I'm not very good at creating worlds. I prefer to write about the world as it is.
If you are going to be a writer, you have to have self-belief, every writer gets rejections, they say the difference between a successful and unsuccessful writer is an unsuccessful writer gives up, if you keep going you will succeed.
Throughout history, story telling was at the very beginning of life.
I have a great belief in not doing anything unless I'm passionate about it.
My perfect reader doesn't just read - he or she devours books.
I'm not happy unless I have a pen in my hand, it's really that simple.
I believe that, by and large, people are good and everybody you meet is more likely to surprise you in a positive way than in a negative way.
I fear dying in the middle of a book. It would be so annoying to write 80,000 words and not get to the end. I'm phobic about it. So when I'm writing a book I leave messages all over the house for people to know how the story ends, and then someone can finish it for me.
