I don't consciously try to take my readers on a journey as I don't really think about my readers when I'm writing. I just try to write what I feel passionately about, to tell a story down onto the page.
Michael MorpurgoI got married young, far too young, but it is fine. We are still married 48 years later. I got married at 19.
Michael MorpurgoFor me,the greater part of writing is daydreaming, dreaming the dream of my story until it hatches out-the writing down of it I always find hard.But I love finishing it,then holding the book in my hand and sharing my dream with my readers.
Michael MorpurgoRemember to write for yourself, not for a market and give yourself time to develop your own style, your own voice. It takes a lifetime. Enjoy it!
Michael MorpurgoThis one isnโt just any old horse. Thereโs a nobility in his eye, a regal serenity about him. Does he not personify all that men try to be and never can be? I tell you, my friend, thereโs divinity in a horse, and specially in a horse like this. God got it right the day he created them. And to find a horse like this in the middle of this filthy abomination of a war, is for me like finding a butterfly on a dung heap. We donโt belong in the same universe as a creature like this.
