I would travel to Narnia and talk to animals. C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite authors!

The Story of Redtail Hawk, which was written by a girl from my town, and the Bible because I get so much out of it every time I read it.

Keep writing and pray for an inspiring message to share! About editing and grammar - study up on SAT/ACT grammar rules and you will have great grammar. About publishing - It's getting easier and easier for talent to get noticed by publishers these days. Amazon Kindle has become a great tool for people who want to establish their following before attempting to publish a book in print. I went the traditional route, but I am considering releasing my next book exclusively through Amazon, where readers pay less and authors get the bulk of the royalties.

I re-read one of the novels I already wrote to help me get back into the minds of my characters.

Getting to know your characters - you feel like they are part of your life. Writing allows you to spend time with them, and helps you learn how to see things from other people's perspectives.

I was chased through the woods as a teenager by a man in a truck who kept yelling that my friends and me were trapped on an island. It was so scary! After we got away, I went home and wrote the first chapter of The Forces Within. Years later, I tied it into my series!

I love the relationship between Landon and Jamie in A Walk to Remember. Their story ties in faith, which I love, plus Jamie sees the best in him (and helps him see it in himself).
