If you would like to write about your writing process, too, let me know in the comments and I will add your link at the end of my post!
This is how I roll, dawg. This is how I do!
MY WRITING PROCESS
1. What are you currently working on?
I currently have three projects going on. I’m preparing for
my next picture book release next week (WORDS ON BIRDS). I recently revisited a
middle grade novel that I started co-writing with someone and we got busy and dropped
it for a few years. Having fun getting back to that -over halfway done! And I am also revising a picture book I wrote
in the spring.
2. How does your work differ from others in its genre?
My last couple of published projects (ROCKABET picture book
and ROCK ‘N’ ROLL PRINCESSES WEAR BLACK mg) differ as their themes are rock ‘n’
roll which is a different little niche in kids lit.
3. Why do you want to write?
Writing is a creative outlet for me. I have SO many ideas
that I want to put out there. I feel so accomplished when I finish a chapter,
my goal for the day, or when I see a book of mine on a bookshelf! Also, being a
mom and educator, I want to promote literacy any way I can, and let people know
that READING ROCKS!
4. How does your individual writing process work?
I actually do not have any regular writing process. I’m more
of a pantser than a planner, but my next project I am going to try to plan
more. J
For picture books and poetry, I generally write in a notebook and erase,
scratch out and revise as I write. Also, I enjoy being outside and it’s easier
to write in a notebook instead of the laptop there! But in general, I write,
revise, revise, revise, revise, and then revise like most writers!
And that is how I roll.
Don't forget to let me know if you want to join in on the fun!
HAPPY SUMMER!
