Val Biro

Do something that you really enjoy and write on a subject about which you have strong feelings, otherwise you will get bored, and so will your readers.

Peter Dickinson

I was a writer since I was 5, though I didn't write a book until I was 40. Know that you are a writer, and write what comes to you and begs to be written.

Pat Hutchins

Just enjoy yourself. Let yourself go. If you entertain yourself, there's a good chance others will be entertained too.

Pat Hutchins' character Titch has his own web site
