A to Z Blog Challenge: Days Three and Four |
| CHALLENGE |
A challenge, to me, often means stepping out of my box and trying something new or something I perceive as being difficult. It could be pulling out something old and challenging myself to take a look at it with fresh eyes. It could mean trying a new genre of writing. I think to grow as a writer you have to continually challenge yourself. This doesn't mean you have to be successful in every new challenge but I think it helps you to better understand what your strengths and weaknesses are. To be an author is a challenge and I often remind myself that if writing wasn't a challenge the work wouldn't be so rewarding!

| DANCE |
During my author presentations I show children this picture from my first dance recital. I think it's important for them to look at what their passions are and I explain how my dance has influenced the stories I write. It's the passion I've had longer than any other in my life. When I write about dance I can write from my heart.

I recently challenged myself to write a completely different kind of book. Just like my Lemon Meringue pie that turned into Lemon Soup, I got an "A" for effort even if the content got a thumbs down!
