When did you first realize you wanted to become a writer?
When I was eight years old I asked my mom if I could write a book. She said “Sure, but write about what you know.” As an eight year old I loved doing arts and crafts and wanted to show other kids ways that they could have fun doing crafts. After I wrote my first two craft books I wanted to let girls know that they could reach any goal they had, just like I did, and I knew that through writing books that was the best way to get my message out to a large group of people. I got an agent and she helped me sell my books to publishers. I’m lucky to have seven books published.
What is it about making things with your own hands that you think is important?
Arts and crafts is a great way to have fun and express yourself. I love making homemade gifts for my friends because it shows I value their friendship enough to spend time, thought and energy on them. Crafts also increase your creativity. There’s no perfect way to make a puppet. If you want a puppet with six eyes and purple hair…that’s great! With crafts, you learn to adapt and be imaginative. Those characteristics transfer over to so many other areas of life.
