Cornelia Funke:
I'm not sure I have a question at the moment? I have just finished Inkspell and am preparing myself for Inkdeath. I just wanted to thank you for giving me this world. I needed it so badly. I'm just like Elinor right now (and in my obsession with books) and I can only wish that someone someday will drag me into a story. Until then I will go on reading and re reading those that I hold dear in my heart.

Dear Raluca (or shall I call you Elinor?:)
one day all the books you read will show you the way out of the library and you will realize that they just prepared you for the magic of this world. Because that's what they do, I believe - they assure us, that the world is full of people, places and thoughts to discover. That we are not alone with what we dream of or long for, although what surrounds us may sometimes suggest that. I am a bookeater like you and I still love the feeling of walking into a bookstore and feeling at home wherever in the world I am. But I also know that without all those books I would never have dared to go out into the world and to discover that they had always told me about it!:)

Hi Cornelia, I'm a big fan of your books (duh, who wouldn't be?) and also an aspiring writer/author. You writing is absolutely beautiful and has changed how I look at writing as a work of art. I was wondering if you had any tips for teens who want to be writers/authors and what inspired you to become an author?
