I work with writers and artists of all ages. I see how almost everyone struggles with feeling that they aren't doing 'it' right. Whatever 'it' is. They are hestitant to try things and to take chances...when trying things and taking chances is the secret to getting better and succeeding at whatever it is that you are wanting to do...whether painting a picture or running a race.
3) What genre does your book fall under?
humor, picture book
4) What actors would you choose to play the part of your characters in a movie rendition?
Hilarious thought!
A young Justin Bieber as Simon, the Snail
Nathan Lane as Drake, the Duck
5) What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
Simon, the Snail, proves to Drake, the Duck, that he can do everything Drake can do.
6) Who is publishing your book?
It's under consideration at one house...when it's accepted...You'll all find out!!
7) How long did it take you to write the first draft of the manuscript?
I wrote the first rought draft in less than an hour. Since then, I've rewritten and rewritten and rewritten...and then fine tuned it through several dummies.
8) What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss and There's No Such Thing as a Dragon by Jack Kent
9) Who or what inspired you to write this book?
My belief that each of us can do amazing things....and that we need to have faith in ourselves and take chances.
10) What else about the book might pique the reader’s interest?
The fact that Simon almost gets eaten multiple times...it's pretty funny.
