Writing Children's Books Gives A

I Concentrate On The Lives Of Individuals Whom The Reader Comes To Know And Feel With Intimately.

Reread, Rewrite, Reread, Rewrite. If It Still Doesn't Work, Throw It Away. It's A Nice Feeling, And You Don't Want To Be Cluttered With The Corpses Of Poems And Stories Which Have Everything In Them Except The Life They Need.

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

I Have Learned So Much From Working With Other Poets, Travelling And Reading With Them, Spending Days Discussing Poems In Progress. There Is The Sense That We Are All, As Writers, Part Of Something Which Is More Powerful Than Any Of Us.

I Would Like People To Come Into My Dreamworld And Then Choose To Stay.
