The only other thing which I think is important is: Don't write a book or start a book with the expectation of communicating a message in a very important way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
So many of my books, I don't want to say they have messages, but they have important things to say.
I definitely don't write with any kind of 'message' or 'lesson,' probably because when I was a child, I used to run a mile from books like that.
I think the most important lesson isn't necessarily to try and write a different book every time, or to try and brand yourself and write one specific kind of book, but to write the kind of books you love to read.
Communication is important.
It may be important to write a book that doesn't come up to what I would like to have rather than to write no book at all.
In my books I try to tell a good story, not give messages.
I'm sure most parents read to their children to explain what certain things mean. So books are a good way to convey a message to anybody. Everybody reads.
Protect the time and space in which you write. Keep everybody away from it, even the people who are most important to you.
For people who are readers, reading is important to them.
Writing is incredibly important to me as a way of handling the world, understanding how it works.
