Canadian writer (1951- )
I write on a computer, but I've run the complete gambit. When I was very young, I wrote with a ballpoint pen in school notebooks. Then I got pretentious and started writing with a dip pen on parchment (I wrote at least a novel-length poem that way). Moved on to a fountain pen. Then a typewriter, then an electric self-correct. Then someone gave me a word processor and I was amazed at being able to fit ten pages on one of those floppy discs.

The real problem is, people think life is a ladder, and it's really a wheel.

The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it.

That's the thing with magic. You've got to know it's still here, all around us, or it just stays invisible for you.

The best artists know what to leave out. They know how much of the support should show through as the pigment is applied, what details aren't necessary.
