-- Quote of the Day --  “I go to writer’s meetings, save all the receipts, keep track of where I go because everything is a write-off – this is a business. Even in my workshops for teens that I do in the summer I devote part of that time to marketing and business aspects of being a writer. …When I think of reward days – those are the days that I have the whole day just to write. …Writing is actually a small part of the job – what I see a lot of is that people love to write but they don’t want to market or run their business. …and they don’t want to learn the whole process they just want to write and maybe sign some books. …I think in every new project, because you can’t put your finger on exactly how it works, even if you are super organized you don’t have everything there that is going to make that book work.

-- World of Writing -- Rochelle Campbell (author of Leaping Out on Faith, blogger and short story artist) and her son, Teraab (now 12 years old), join us today for another World of Writing Interview on our blog to explain the experience they had in co – writing The Magic Seeds (written for readers ranging from 7-9 years). Rochelle tells us: “ We worked on this book for about a year before we had it published.  The story is about a little boy named Johnny who does a good deed for an elderly woman in the park.  The kindly old woman offers him a reward for his good deed but there's a bit of surprise .”  I loved what she had to say about how this book project affected her son “… My son was reluctant reader and because of this book his enthusiasm for reading increased tremendously .” Check out Rochelle’s blog - The Notebook Blogairy - @: http://notebookblogairy.blogspot.com Q: What have you learned about working with your co-writer, who happens to be...
