Write every day. Don't kill yourself. I think a lot of people think, 'I have to write a chapter a day' and they can't. They fall behind and stop doing it.

Itjtawy was ancient Egypt's capital for over four hundred years, at a period of time called the Middle Kingdom about four thousand years ago.

Even when writing your own poems, you need to talk to people; you need to magpie around, getting words and things.

I think that animals aren't less intelligent than humans, they're just of a different intelligence.

I love fairy tales because of their haunting beauty and magical strangeness. They are set in worlds where anything can happen.
