She took to heart the criticism of others too much and was wounded by their laughter. Therefore, she sank into the deep, dark depths of mediocrity, never to be heard from again.

I would love to visit Zorquat 3 in the Orion Nebula, where I could express my creativity and flourish. Besides, gravity is 25% less there than it is on Earth!

I don't have much time for leisure reading anymore since I've taken up editing and ghostwriting, but that means that I get to work on books which I would not have otherwise been exposed to.

Many things inspire me to write. Some days, it's just a matter of me opening my eyes and getting out of bed. After that, I just follow the stream of ideas which leap into my head. It doesn't get much easier than that!

My advice for aspiring writers is to keep working hard; don't give up! If you ever find yourself suffering from the horrible "disease" called writer's block, don't despair. That's when you can focus on reading, drawing, photography, and other things. Eventually, you will be able to come back to your writing.

I got the idea for one of my most recent books from a segment called Square One. The program was created to teach children mathematics, and I thought it would be fun to write and illustrate a childen's picture book teaching kids about shapes and geometry.

I have so many projects which I am currently working on that it's hard to keep track most of the time! It makes me feel blessed, however, and I am certainly not complaining because of lack of inspiration!

The best thing about being is a writer is the fact that I can create new worlds and capture the attention and interest of my readers. It is also a great means of bearing my soul for all the world to see.

I deal with writer's block by taking a break to do something else. If it's a nice day outside, I will take a walk either in my neighborhood or my favorite pedestrian bridge. Since I've also published coloring books, creating new drawings is a fun way for me to start work on another project without actually having to write.
