The beginning of a friendship, the fact that two people out of the thousands around them can meet and connect and become friends, seems like a kind of magic to me. But maintaining a friendship requires work. I don't mean that as a bad thing. Good art requires work as well.
Often the magical elements in my books are standing in for elements of the real world, the small and magical-in-their-own-right sorts of things that we take for granted and no longer pay attention to, like the bonds of friendship that entwine our own lives with those of other people and places.
I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile.
When all's said and done, all roads lead to the same end. So it's not so much which road you take, as how you take it.
Life is like art. You have to work hard to keep it simple and still have meaning.
