When I caught my little brother engrossed in reading it, I figured I must not be too bad a writer if I could get my brother to read a princess story without even asking.:)The Authoresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941795155665241855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832410260230794314.post-43593612830143016692012-07-31T18:53:13.488-05:002012-07-31T18:53:13.488-05:00Oh, and for the giveaway I'm supposed to ask a...Oh, and for the giveaway I'm supposed to ask a question!<br /><br />Do you have siblings?

My dad actually buried stuff in the ground to make an archeological dig for me. He made it so realistic!<br />I really appreciate your comments about writing for children. I completely agree. I usually write "gentle adventures from the real world."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282192716843891201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832410260230794314.post-38425334269646328742012-07-30T18:52:42.928-05:002012-07-30T18:52:42.928-05:00RJ: My favorite part about writing is being able t...RJ: My favorite part about writing is being able to thoughtfully express the things that have been on my heart. And it is an extra bonus when other people read what I've written;).<br /><br />Jenna K.: The hardest part was coming up with a realistic premise. It is a fake country but the people are Christians, so it must be our world because Jesus died once and it was on earth. It was difficult to figure out how to work in everything I wanted within the limits of planet earth.<br /><br />Marlene E.: Thanks for the thoughts! I have always liked the way Louisa May Alcott would insert little tidbits of instruction into her stories. The most notable examples I can think of would be in Eight Cousins, Rose in Bloom, and An Old-Fashioned Girl. I try in my writing to do as she did. I probably am far from achieving that, but it is something to work towards.<br /><br />Bethany: I would like to continue to write all my life! I don't know how things will turn out, as I've had to take a break from writing due to my current busy circumstances, and certainly as a midwife I would be very busy, but I hope that I will always have the opportunity to continue writing books!The Authoresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941795155665241855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832410260230794314.post-21249058934999655082012-07-30T11:11:29.012-05:002012-07-30T11:11:29.012-05:00Looks neat!

It's important for children to read such stories that will form them... but subconsciously. My feeling growing up was that if I had morals and goodness stuffed down my throat and I knew it, I would be more apt to react negatively to it. But there are those glorious books whose morals are well hidden and yet so accessible, like E. Nesbit's or Brian Jacques's tales. <br /><br />Just my thoughts. :) Thanks for the giveaway!Marlene Gonzalezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337565432975808037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832410260230794314.post-54004037978329130372012-07-30T10:29:52.928-05:002012-07-30T10:29:52.928-05:00Sounds like a book I'd like to read!
