    I am 11 and I am doing a leadership project on my future career. I like to make up stories and was thinking that I might want to be a Children's Book Author. I found your website online. Can you tell me what you believe it takes to be successful in this career?

    Hi Jen,

    Thanks for writing to me. First of all, I love being a children's book author and making up exciting adventures for kids to read about. I think some of the most important things to becoming an author are: the love of reading, a creative mind, and a strong belief in yourself. This all goes with being able to do all the hard work involved also. I've been a writer for many years, and my first book took 9 years and 27 rejections before finding a publisher. This is what a lot of writer's face in getting their first book published. But if you write the story well, edit the story well, and believe in yourself as a writer, you will eventually get that first contract. A writer must also be able to take criticism from professional writers and learn from it. It is a hard road to becoming a published writer, but it is a very rewarding profession. I hope this helps you, and I do wish you the very best in your writing.

    Ms. Robinson,

    Thanks so much for your response! I have one more question for you. Can you tell me what a typical day in the life of a Children's Book Author is?

    THanks again!

      Hi Jen,

      This is a two part answer.

      During the week, I work full time at a dental office and part-time as an art teacher. So for the most part of my week I do not have time to write stories. I get up at 5:00 a.m. every morning to deal with emails from my marketing manager, web site manager, publisher, all before going to work at 7:00 a.m.

      When I do have a writing day, I make sure I have nothing else planned. I still get up at 5:00 a.m., make coffee and listen to
      some music as I get into the creative mode of writing. The rest
      of the day becomes a blur as I write and create all day. When I am in this creative mode of writing, I do not worry about spelling and punctuation (this will come later when I edit), but concentrate purely on telling the story.

      If I have several days off in a row, I will repeat this same procedure for the several days. I call this 'the writing marathon days' because I just don't get the chance to write every day or even every weekend.

      I hope this helps.
      Best wishes to you.
      Diane Robinson

    Dear Diane,

    Thank you sincerely for your generous donation with sending 5 copies of your wonderful children's book 'Sir Princess Petra' for the school children of Fiji.

    I am sure the children will be delighted to receive your gift all the way from Canada.

    I can picture their smiling faces already.

    Sincere apologies for the delay with sending my thank you message as I have been unwell.

    I greatly appreciate your support and wish you a blessed 2013.

    Kind regards
    Shelly
