Chris asked Shelley Pearsall:

Hi Shelly, I was one of the students at Gahanna Middle School West I just want to ask you a quick question. How do you feel when people admire your work?

Shelley Pearsall Hi Chris,
I enjoyed visiting your school last year! When people admire my work, it means a lot to me because writing is such a solitary task. You never know if what you are writing will connect with readers in the way you hope it will -- there are a lot of doubt-filled days -- and so, when readers respond positively to a story and characters, it makes me feel both relieved and proud that the writing worked its magic again.
