In fact, writing for younger adults is tougher. They remember everything and if they spot a problem, they'll be sure to let you know.

More quotes by Michael Scott
There is always something to see, if you only know how to look.
Michael Scott
Nowadays I find chocolate and/or chocolate-based snacks to be great motivators. Everyone loves chocolate. If someone has a lot of work to do, put a piece of fudge in a glass container (so they can see it) and let them know that if they accomplish their tasks, they can eat the fudge. You'll definitely get a reaction!

My specialty is mythology.There are artifacts like the hallows scattered through just about every mythology. However, what makes the Celtic hallows so interesting is that they are a self-contained group of objects.
Michael Scott
Leader. Ship. The word 'ship' is hidden inside the word 'leadership,' as its... derivation.
Michael Scott
I'm always writing - its what I like to do. But when I'm not writing, I'm reading.
Michael Scott
Here words can kill - literally.
Michael Scott
There really is no difference in the actual writing or plotting. I choose to tell different stories for the younger reader and, of course, I would never put sex and extreme violence in a YA book. But writing for adults and children requires the same care and attention.

Middle school's amazing. It is extraordinary. An extraordinary time.
Michael Scott
Once you have been touched by magic, you are forever changed. You leave a trail.

Perenelle shuddered. You know I hate leprechauns more than almost anything.

Abraham Lincoln once said that if you are a racist, I will attack you with the north. And those are the principles that I carry with me in the workplace.
Michael Scott
I was brought up in a home where I saw my parents read and I was taken to bookshops and libraries, so I grew up feeling very comfortable around books. Also, Ireland is a country which has honoured its writers and poets, so when someone says they wanted to be a writer, its not mocked or looked down upon.
Michael Scott
You must learn to heed your senses. Humans use but a tiny percentage of theirs. They barely look, they rarely listen, they never smell, and they think that they can only experience feelings through their skin. But they talk, oh, do they talk.
Michael Scott
You need to play to win. But you also need to win ... to play.
Michael Scott
My advice is to write about what you are interested in. If you read science fiction and fantasy, then write in that genre. If you read romance novels, then try writing one.
Michael Scott
A good story is always a journey. It is about taking the journey, the people the hero meets along the way and how they change him or her. All stories are journeys. They don't have to be shocking or outrageous: they simply have to be interesting.
Michael Scott
What you call magic is nothing more than an act of the imagination fired by the senses, then given shape by the power of your aura.
Michael Scott
To remain unknown in this modern world: that, indeed, is real power.

I'm always reading. Here's where an ebook reader really comes into its own. When I travel, it allows me to carry a huge chunk of my library with me. Usually, when I am writing one project, I am researching the next or beginning to pull together the material for the book after that.

When you've lived as long as I have, nothing much surprises you.
