No matter what’s going on in my life, whether I’m bored or stressed or both, I can escape into a good book. People often talk about books as passages to other worlds, and this is so true for me.
Name a notable book that provided you with a hiding spot.
My blog is dedicated to my personal hiding spot, books. Caves also terrify me, and I imagine that spelunk is the sound I might make as I fell down a crevice and then thudded against the ground if I ever tried to go spelunking. Caves fascinate me, and this word immediately brings to mind mystery and adventure. I like the word spelunk, which means to explore caves. If you had to pick a favorite word, what would it be and why? I want to be able to write about a wide range of characters, so it’s helpful to have a wide range of experiences. Others, like working in a coffee shop or at a Renaissance festival, seem more unrelated, but they still provided me with real life experiences, and I think this is helpful for novelists. Some of them, namely freelance writing and ESL instruction, helped me develop my writing skills. I’ve had a lot of different jobs over the years. What jobs did you have on your way to becoming a published author? Is there a certain work experience that has shaped your writing or provided inspiration? I had a few possible ideas, but I made most of it up as I wrote-which meant I had a lot of rewriting to do. Dead Boy was actually unusual for me because I didn’t know what was going to happen or how the story was going to end. I don’t like outlines, but I usually write a one-page synopsis before I write much of the actual manuscript. I always start with chapter one, and although I’ll jot down notes for later scenes, I never write chapters out of order. Tell me a little bit about your writing process: Do you outline? Start at the beginning? The middle? The end? The importance of having true friends who are always there for you-and of being a good friend i n return-runs throughout the story. She has an easier time meeting other kids her age, but she also deals with betrayal and bullying. Melody, who has just moved to town, is also lonely. The cause of this-being a dead boy plagued with maggots and rot-may be bizarre, but I think most readers will be able to relate to his feelings of isolation and his desire for a friend. When the story begins, Crow is very lonely.
