I don't listen to music when I'm writing, but I often do when I'm reworking, editing or when I need to relax.

It isn't just a village. The houses aren't just places to live. Everything belongs to everybody. Everyone belongs to everyone else. Even a single person can make a difference.

Change isn't always comfortable, but it is a fact of life.

Some people spend the whole of their lives sitting waiting for one train, only to find that they never even made it to the station.

I let it go. It's like swimming against the current. It exhausts you. After a while, whoever you are, you just have to let go, and the river brings you home.

I carried recipes in my head like maps.
