Ava asked Rachel Renée Russell:

How do you have so many great ideas for the whole Dork Diaries series? There's so many! And to keep it so entertaining the whole time! I always read your books in one day because I can't put them down! I can't imagine how much brainstorming you do every day. How do you keep the series going for so long?

Rachel Renée Russell Thank you for such a wonderful question! A lot of the ideas for Dork Diaries come from REAL life experiences. For example, my daughter, Erin, kept a diary and was actually hit in the face with a dodgeball in P.E. class, and my other daughter, Nikki, wrote on walls with a black magic marker and was sweet, but wacky, like, Brianna. And, as you correctly guessed, we also do A LOT of brainstorming! l am very happy to hear that you're enjoying the book series. Keep reading and stay dorky!!
