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
I am a writer (and one day I'll be an author). For a long time I was a bookseller (who wrote) or a TV producer (who wrote), but for the last decade or so, its been writer.
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
But the truth is a double-edged sword it is a dangerous thing.
Michael Scott
And once begun, change cannot be reversed.

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.

The best moment is when you walk into a bookstore and see a pile of your books - that is the oddest experience in the world!
Michael Scott
To remain unknown in this modern world: that, indeed, is real power.
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
Here words can kill - literally.
Michael Scott
Every story starts with an idea, but it is the characters that move this idea forward.
Michael Scott
What is it like being single? I like it! I like starting each day with a sense of possibility. And I'm optimistic, because everyday I get a little more desperate. And desperate situations yield the quickest results.
Michael Scott
I never base characters on real people - you can get into so much trouble that way!
Michael Scott
It's always been Apple's goal to ship something we were proud of and something people would be proud to own, and I think that's still true from thirty years ago.
Michael Scott
When you've lived as long as I have, nothing much surprises you.
Michael Scott
I'm always writing - its what I like to do. But when I'm not writing, I'm reading.
Michael Scott
Often the greatest act of courage is admitting that one has made a mistake...Follow your hearts. Protect one another, trust one another, because, at the end of the day, all of these people want something from you, or want you to do something for them, or be something that you are not. Your own responsibility is to one another.
Michael Scott
