Welcome Megan today! I want to be her when my author shelf grows up. If you haven't read her THIEF series, now is a good time.
Now for Megan's interview:
What was the first book that turned you into a reader?
Probably it was the Narnia books by CS Lewis. I remember foisting them on my third grade teacher and I knew I'd read them many times over by then.
What's your favorite snack?
Er? How could I pick just one? Hmmmm, probably Vinegar Potato Chips, although I am sure I should say something healthy like "Carrots! I love carrots!"
What is your most memorable high school experience?
Passing notes to a friend between classes. We wrote whole epistolary novels together on pieces of paper torn from our notebooks.
What do you never leave home without?
I can leave anything at home. My keys, my wallet, my cell phone. I have not ever actually left my head behind, but only because it is securely attached to the rest of me.
Do you have any pets?
No, though I occasionally borrow them from friends. For several years my neighbor's cat felt it owned my house, too. I used to come home and find it asleep in the sun in my study.
Do have a favorite getaway?
The library.
What was the first book that turned you into a reader?
Wait, wait, I answered that one already!
What is one piece of advice you would give aspiring writers?
Watch out for self-indulgence. It is the bane of writers. It tells you it's okay to quit for the day when you could keep on writing. It tells you that it's okay to skimp on the plotting or the characterization in order to get to the "good parts."
What are your goals for 2013?
My goal is to write more quickly.
cheers,
Megan
