I have never known what to tell anybody. Except that it is better to do something than nothing, even if the cost is great.

For all my longer works (i.e. the novels) I write chapter outlines so I can have the pleasure of departing from them later on.

Often, I get the feeling that the story is really happening somewhere and all I'm doing is trying to work out the best way to tell it.

Charity is a very labour-intensive virtue.

I am not going to change who I am. I am human and I know how to love, and be kind, and be compassionate to those who are weaker than me. Just because I have power doesn't mean I have to use it!

Yet when ancient forces stir, many things are woken.
