How are the convention preparations coming? : )
ReplyDeleteGreat! I'm decorating the living room in boxes of books and promo materials. Just got my Paypal card reader yesterday. Big box of books and some shopping bags coming Friday! Yay! Hard to believe there are only 10 days left!
DeleteWow, that sounds so fun! I can hardly wait! You have the coolest decorating style. : )
DeleteThanks for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome! It's so much fun! :)
DeleteI'm so excited for this book to come out. I might just have to buy it for my little brother for Christmas. Even though he probably won't be able to read it for a few more years. :)
ReplyDeleteAw...that would be fun. ;)
DeleteI'm so excited about your new book Perry! It looks wonderful. My two questions for you are.... What type of program do you use to write your books? How do you find time to write while being a Mother?
ReplyDeleteHi Elanee!
DeleteI'm glad you stopped by! I can't wait to see YOUR book! ;)
I typically write in MS Word or in some similar word processor. This time, I wrote entirely in Google Docs. It was so nice to be able to work on it from any computer or even my phone! I then moved it to Word for the formatting.
I usually write while the boys are napping. They both take a 2-3 hour nap at the same time in the afternoon. Of course, that being the most productive time of my day, I sometimes use it for other things. ;)
Where/how did you get the idea for a cat who writes? Or, more broadly, what inspires your stories?
ReplyDeleteThat's a hard question to answer! This idea was the product of just rambling around my brain going, "What if?" And one of the what-ifs was: what if a cat was a spy? Which, of course, begged the question of how the cat would communicate information.
DeleteI have a book full of brain-rambles like that waiting to be developed. I love asking "What-if"s! ;)
