What propels you Michelle to write one book after another? Do you find this to be challenging or do you just have fun and let whatever is to transpire come about?
Michelle Harrison
Sorry for the late reply, I must have missed the notification for your question. Well, I love writing and always wanted it to be my career. In an ideal world I'd like to be able to spend 2-3 years on each book (my first took around 5 years to write and redraft and that time was crucial to its development).
However, the reality is that publishers want at least one book a year to keep you visible and continuing to grow your audience, which is especially relevant to children's authors as your audience grows up and moves on quickly. So I have deadlines to stick to which can be a challenge, but there's nothing else I'd rather be doing.
