Keep going! Writing can be tough and discouraging sometimes, but it can also be so rewarding. So whether you just have an idea and haven't started writing yet or you are halfway through a novel with no idea how you are going to finish or you are just trying to find some way to publish your work, keep going and don't give up! Believe in yourself and keep striving to better your work.

I got the idea for writing The Stepsister when I was entering an 8th grade writing contest. Before the writing contest, I had another idea for a story about two girls switching places for a few days and that got me thinking about perspective. I had also recently read a few fairy tale retellings and loved them. That got me thinking, if Cinderella got a new stepmother then her stepsisters were getting a new stepfather, right? How did they feel about that? To the best of my knowledge, nobody had ever asked them before! So I decided to write The Stepsister and see the other side of the Cinderella story.
