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
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
Villains often more the story along while the heros react to the villains, so the villain becomes the engine of the story.
Michael Scott
I never base characters on real people - you can get into so much trouble that way!
Michael Scott
For me, the favourite chapters have always been the last chapters in the books. I knew exactly how each book would end - and how the first chapter of the following book would begin. I knew I wanted to leave the readers with answers - and a bunch of new questions!
Michael Scott
They [my characters]speak to me all the time! In fact some of them never shut up!
Michael Scott
we are nothing more than the sum of our memories and experiences
Michael Scott
Marethyu stretched out his right hand and Aten took it in his. Let me tell you this, the hook-handed man said. We will meet again,you and I,in a different place and a different time. You know this to be true? I do. Because you have seen the future? Because I have been there.

Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh I donno, I sing in the shower? Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me-- no, don't sue me. That is opposite the point I'm trying to make.
Michael Scott
Most writers, I'm afraid, live very boring lives sitting in front of a screen. However, having said that: every writer puts a bit of themselves into the characters to bring them alive.

There is no such thing as an appropriate joke. That's why it's a joke.
Michael Scott
You need to play to win. But you also need to win ... to play.

Middle school's amazing. It is extraordinary. An extraordinary time.

Ah. In my experience, when people say they don't know whether they love someone, they usually mean no.

Here words can kill - literally.
Michael Scott
Good collaboration essentially boils down to personalities who work well together and are able to integrate each other's notes and ideas without killing each other.

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
Being immortal must have a lot of attractions. You can travel all over the world, see everything, do everything. But what happens if you are immortal and your friends and family are not? You are then destined to watch them age and die.
Michael Scott
The secret to writing is writing. Lots of people I know talk about writing. They will tell me about the book they are going to write, or are thinking about writing, or may write some day in the future. And I know they will never do it. If someone is serious about writing, then they will sit down every day and put some words down on paper.

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!

I love inside jokes. I hope to be a part of one some day.
