Patricia Bernido asked Rhodora M. Fitzgerald:

Hi Ms.FitzgeraId I'm from Philippines and I'm really looking forward for you to answer my questions because I really appreciate you a lot.. 1.What is your first book and what inspired you to write it? 2.Are your stories based on someone you know or your own life? 3.What are your tips and advice for the students like me?

Rhodora M. Fitzgerald Hi Patricia,
1)The first book I wrote is a book of poems called, "Poetically Said!" 'Pathways of the Heart!' The writing courses I took in high school were my biggest inspiration. I've been writing ever since!
2) Many of my stories and poems are characteristic of my own experiences and people I know, but many parts are not. I take bits and pieces from different experiences and make them my own.
3)My best advice is to just keep writing. If you have a passion for writing... don't stop! Also, try writing many different forms of writing... poetry, short stories, children's stories, etc... you will learn what you really enjoy!
