"Do you think you'd like to be an author when you grow up?
Alyssa: I want to be an author. My mom thinks I am very artistic, so who knows?
I'm so pleased to hear you're using your talents, Alyssa and Olivia. I helped my dad in our business too.
Melissa-Sue, do you have any projects you're working on right now?
Right now, I am
helping other children authors get their books published. But I have a list of
STEAM topics I want to complete in the future.
It's exciting you're helping other children who are authors to develop their talents. It's great to boost their self-esteem as well.
What's your favorite part about being an author?
I like sharing my
knowledge and doing research for new topics. I enjoy the challenge of making it
accessible for children to understand. I realize my strengths are that I am a
teacher and I am passionate about inclusive learning (culture, ability,
gender). I am working on being more creative and hoping to write fiction
stories.
Researching is fun because we learn new things and we are inspired to share them. I know your new books will be spectacular.
Would you like to offer advice to new authors or aspiring authors?
authors?
I believe that
many of us never finish our stories because we lack the confidence, not the
talent. My advice to aspiring authors is that they are the only one standing in
their way and they have all the talent to write the stories on their hearts.
Any place they lack or fall short, there are more than sufficient resources
(e.g., editors, illustrators, public relation officers, accountants, lawyers)
to help in the areas they lack. For current authors, my advice is to write every
day. Anything that you do consistently, you become better at every time. The
last book you write will be better than the first. But there will never be a
first, if you never finish it. So, finish the manuscript!
That's wonderful advice, Melissa-Sue. I remember being petrified to write my first book, but we need to take that important first step and build on it.
Is There anything else you'd like to ad?
We are all
talented. We may have different talents, but we all possess talent. Stop
doubting yourself and share with the world your God given talent. Do not hide
you light. The world could use some good.
