Read a lot, and read widely, not just your preferred genres. Also, be kind to yourself when what's in your head doesn't come out onto the page exactly like you thought the first time. Don't be afraid to start from scratch as many times as it takes. Stay hydrated.

Did you always know what you wanted to be when you got older? I used to want to be a zoologist, a teacher, and now I hope to be a child psychologist and am going through school working towards. Sometimes I look back and think about those old dreams/wants I had and what life could be like in the future if I chose those. If you ever wanted to be something else, do you think back on it too? Do you regret it?

Hello K.A., I am a Learning Specialist at Fraser Academy, a private school in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. My student and I just finished reading your book, 45 Pounds or Less. We loved it! Every class, both of us looked forward to reading the book and talking about what was going to happen. Our question for you is about Tony. What happened to him? Did he ever come back? What inspired you to write this story?
