What am I working on?
With the urging of my critique group (thanks Karin and Marilyn) I have dusted off a middle grade manuscript that I've been working on and off for several years now (yes, I'm embarrassed to say so, but exhilarated that I'm back in the saddle again of fine tuning this manuscript). Thanks ladies!
How does my work differ from others of its genre?
Thus far my children's books have ended up in the theme of overcoming obstacles without preaching to the reader.
Why do I write what I do?
I enjoy writing for children and watching the expressions on their faces of joy and wonder of escaping into an exciting book.
How does my writing process work?
I always write my first draft in long hand with my favorite pen, Graf von Faber-Castell away from my computer and email distraction and of course my cell phone off. I then put it to the side and read through for the first time at least several hours to a day or so later giving myself a fresh set of eyes and perspective. Then I get down to task of typing it into my computer. Yes, I'm old fashioned, I then print it out for my next round of proofreading.
