1. Read. 2. Write. 3. Repeat. This old adage is still the best advice I know for the writing life. The only thing I would add is the importance of reading aloud. Nothing reveals the awkward spots (or the inspired ones) in a piece of writing more quickly than giving voice to the words.

Hey Thor, ever considered coming and spending some time in Australia to do a book on our native bees? We even have bumblebees... well, in Tasmania we do anyway. Their story is a book in itself!Can we lure you here with the promise of warm weather? Unusual and fascinating native flora and fauna developed in isolation for millennia now co-existing with introduced species? Really, really good coffee here in Melbourne? :)

Hello Thor, I'm a big fan of your book and it requires a re-read. I loved all the intriguing seed stories. My partner has just recently read it and enthusiastically shared stories and new insights at every meal. Alas, I can't remember something about your book that I'm sure you commented on. Do seeds anticipate future weather conditions? Does a plant energize the seed manufacture if a harsh winter is ahead?
