All through October, Alphabet Soup is celebrating turning three. We have heaps of writers and illustrators stopping by to answer THREE QUICK QUESTIONS and today’s visitor is Dee White, author of Hope for Hanna, and YA novel Letters to Leonardo. Dee also runs the Writing Classes for Kids blog.
1. Where do you like to write?
My favourite place to write is my study or my lounge room, which have amazing views (here’s a pic).
2. Can you name a book you’d recommend to our readers?
3. Can you offer a word or phrase that kids could use for inspiration if they have writer’s block?
A word or phrase I would use to kickstart inspiration is, “You wake up in the morning and your cat has brought you breakfast in bed.”
You can find out more about Dee White on her blog, and on her website. And make sure you check out Dee’s Writing Classes for Kids blog, too—there are writing tips, writing tutorials for download, competitions and more …
