Philip Pullman

Read. Reading is the important thing.

Don't worry if you can't write at school. I find you need to be relaxed when you write, to swing on a chair, listen to the radio. I play with string a lot, if I'm not sure what to write next.

Don't [always] write a plan — write the story first then the plan can come afterwards!
