Author Talk at the Downey City Library

I had the pleasure of giving my first “author talk” a few weeks ago at the Downey City Library. It was a lot of fun to talk to people about the writing process. There were even some old students of mine there!

I was actually surprised by how many questions people had, but thinking back to when I was starting out…I had a lot of questions too. Before you write a book, it seems like this mysterious task that is insurmountable. But now that I’ve seen the entire process from beginning to end…it’s not so mysterious. Time consuming? Absolutely, but once you sit down and do it, everything seems so much clearer.

Coming up next month I get to do my first talk at a local middle school, so that should be fun. I’ll be sure to get some pictures of that event too.
