heyy jade brooke and everyone elso 3 My favourite insect. I like the way they work together to build things bigger than themselves. They're a bit like the letters of the alphabet, which are my favourite communication tools. Pictures are great, rubber chooks on sticks can be very effective, but I reckon you can't beat those 26 top little letters. You can build anything with them. Words. Sentences. 500 page books about ants. They're particularly good when authors want to reveal personal things about themselves in web sites.

One of my favourite words. Sounds good, looks good and has heaps of uses. I've always wanted to use it in a title and I've finally managed to in Bumface. I'm glad, because as a writer I owe a lot to my bum. It's supported me in my work for years. Rumour has it that "bum" was the first word I ever said. When I realised the big house I was being photographed in front of didn't belong to my parents.

Not all my favourite words are short. I've never been to Constantinople but the word makes it sound like a fascinating place, probably with great bookshops. I feel the same way about Gdansk, Alberquerque, Beijing and The Maldives. For me, imagination is one of the best ways to travel, plus the food's usually pretty good. When I was little I set out to ride my bike to Constantinople. I didn't get past the end of the driveway because someone pointed out I was wearing completely the wrong hat for that part of the world.

One of the great words. But then I would think that because it's my nickname. Only five letters, but it can mean so much. Such as "you've forgotten the luggage, left the toaster on at home and just driven the car into quicksand but we forgive you."
