Zitat des Tages von Alan Garner:
I learnt that I must never finish a book with nothing else to do.
My mother read nursery rhymes to me, and my grandmother told me folk stories, but as a child I had no interest in writing whatsoever.
I love research so much that I do an enormous amount; it helps put off the moment of starting to write the story.
I've learned never to try and force words to come.
My attitude is that if anybody of any age wants to read a book, let them, but I do think that no child would want to read 'Boneland.'
As far as the world was concerned, from 1979 to 1996, I didn't publish any original material; it just wasn't there.
