I would love to visit 'The secret garden' of Francis Hodgson Burnett as I love the idea both of a beautiful garden and also the wonder of having all to myself! It would be wonderful to lounge about on the grass and just enjoy the lovely surroundings, as well as using it as a quiet and private place to read or write, or just to sneak away to when I want to leave the world behind.

A lot of it flows from the previous 2 books in the series. I also get my ideas from lots of research: this time I have researched the physics of light, the rwenzori mountains in Uganda, the Mayans, the meanings of colour.....the more research you do the more ideas you get.

Creativity and skill with language have to already be present. Get your work checked for mistakes as often as possible and get an experienced person to edit it: writers are all blind to their mistakes and flaws.

I don't really get writer's block: its more a matter that I don't have all the information or inspiration I need at that moment, so I just get on with life until the magic moments comes and creativity flows once more!
