When I'm supposed to be working on Violet's Monster rough drafts, I usually find somewhere on the internet to poke around for a while before returning to stare at the word document that's driving me crazy. (I still love it, but I think I might need another break)
So today I decided to look up some of my favorite authors to see if they would accept fan mail (some even reply!). I've decided to write to the following authors, one per week, because one of their books has impacted my life.
They are (in no particular order):
Lois Lowry
Sharon Creech
Cameron Dokey
Kate DiCamillo
Franny Billingsly
J.K. Rowling
So, in 6 weeks, I will have contacted authors who I've admired for years! It's a wee bit scary, and exhilarating, and there's a tiny bit of hope that one of them will reply.
I'm not going to be plugging Violet's Monster: Volume I (can we say tacky?).
I honestly want them to know how much of a different they've made in my life. Everybody needs some encouragement, right?
Wish me luck!
I particularly want to hear from J.K. Rowling, Sharon Creech, & Kate DiCamillo but I predict I'm only going to hear from Sharon, Kate, and MAYBE Franny.
They're as busy as I should be!
