Jonathan Stroud : (2)

" I like using traditional beliefs in my fantasies, even though I always end up warping them to suit my purpose: it somehow makes everything feel more ‘solid’ if it’s got a long history behind it. " - Jonathan Stroud

" When I was young, I kept a diary for about 10 years and I had to write in it every day. Even on days when nothing seemed to happen, I made myself think of something to put in it. " - Jonathan Stroud
