Hmmmm--if you mean more famous than Jane Austen, Mark Twain, L. Frank Baum, some of my favorite truly famous novel authors? The answer is a blush. If you mean more awesome than modern children's book novelists I admire like Gregory Maguire, Laurie Halse Anderson, Patricia MacLachlan, Shannon Hale, then I have to admit I blush and smile.

These questions are wrt your early days as a writer: advice for us-noobs. How did you handle story advice that improved the work-- yet deviated from your intent or the spirit of your original idea-- leaving you with the feeling that it’s not your work anymore? (For instance, in a workshop situation where someone suggests a major change the story line or switching the gender of a major character.)
