Next week, we will meeting Steven Layne, author of many children's and young adult books. Learn more about him here. Below is an "on the spot" interview from a couple of years ago with Dr. Layne discussing some of his books.
After learning a little about Steven Layne, take a moment to think about what it means to be an author. This week you have two choices:
1) Post 3 questions that you would like to ask Dr. Layne (or to any author for that matter)
or
2) Answer 1 of the following questions:
- Is being an author a difficult or easy job? Why?
- If you became an author, what lessons would you try to put into your books?
- Where do you think authors get their ideas for writing?
Posts are due by Friday, April 29.

i think it would be a hard job because you would get tired of writin so much and you would have to work hard and you would have to make sure it make sence and you would have to do it over and over and over again tills its right and then your would have to get it published and then you would ahve to have people buy it

I think it is hard to be a author because you might not know what to say in the book. You might forget a line in the book.
