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.

More quotes by Michael Scott
I wanted to be a librarian from a very young age. Some of my earliest memories are being taken to the local library. I ended up working as a bookseller. Becoming a writer was the logical offshoot of being a reader.
Michael Scott
Some writing courses will advise you to write what you know. I've always thought this is very odd advice ... because it means, for example, that I should not be writing about Nicholas Flamel, because I didn't live in France in the 15th Century, I was not an alchemyst, am not immortal (despite the rumours) and do not know magic.
Michael Scott
Water is the life-giver and the death-bringer.
Michael Scott
So you should be able to see them clearly in your imagination. We always find it easier to visualize what we fear it's what keeps us afraid of the dark.
Michael Scott
We had little or no emotion. We lacked the capacity to feel fear, to experience love, to enjoy the sensations of happiness and delight.The finest warriors are not only those who do not fear, but those who are without anger.
Michael Scott
Knowledge itself is never dangerous, it is how that knowledge is used that is dangerous
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.
Michael Scott
Ah. In my experience, when people say they don't know whether they love someone, they usually mean no.
Michael Scott
First up, the lost and found has gone missing. It itself, is lost. So please try not to lose anything until we find it.
Michael Scott
You know I hate disappointing even one person, and I really hate disappointing everyone but I love burlington coat factory
Michael Scott
They [my characters]speak to me all the time! In fact some of them never shut up!
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
Perenelle shuddered. You know I hate leprechauns more than almost anything.
Michael Scott
The SUV was the only car moving. Josh had his foot pressed flat to the floor, and the needle on the speedometer hovered close to eighty. He was becoming more comfortable with the controls—he hadn't hit anything for at least a minute.
Michael Scott
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
The research. It is always the best part of writing. And, of course, it is the great excuse to travel.
Michael Scott
Love is the water of life, drink deeply.
Michael Scott
The people that you work with are, when you get down to it, your very best friends.

We're all homos. Homo sapiens.

The Elders had nothing but contempt for human emotion they considered it their biggest weakness. Perenelle knew it was humankind's greatest strength.
