Joshua asked Lois Lowry:

Hi Lois! First I just wanted to say you are my all time favorite author of all time and The Giver is my favorite book of all time, I've read it like a thousand times. Anyways, how do you keep yourself from procrasination when writing?

J asked Lois Lowry:

I'm someone who loves children's books with a passion. I appreciate how that write with simple elegance and don't patronize in your tone. But, though I personally don't read much adult lit, I was curious: do you feel that your "natural" style is better suited to children's literature? Have you ever wanted to (do you still want to) venture into adult literature?
