Day74 of 84 Days of 84 Ribbons: Kid Questions

After doing workshops and speaking to kids, I jotted down some of their questions. Many mirror adult questions but some are quite unique. Here’s a sampling.

** What’s your favorite thing about writing fiction?

** What motivates you to write?

** How do you start a story?

** How do you get ideas for writing books?

** How do you revise a character without changing the whole story?

** How do you feel after you publish a novel?

** How do you go from a poem to a novel (referencing Tasman) ?

** How much time does it take to write a book?

** What do you do when you run out of ideas?

** How do you get your inspiration?

** How do you make your characters meaningful?

** What is your best strategy for revising?

** How many drafts do you go through when you write a novel?

** Did someone in your family inspire you to write? If so, who.

** How do you give your story value?
