My Interview with Author Margaret Peterson Haddix

Alright so not too long ago, on Thursday I had private messaged the author Margaret Peterson Haddix and asked if I could interview her for my blog and she wrote back and said sure. I thought that was pretty cool that she agreed and she also told me as long as it was only a few questions. So I said okay and had asked my first question. So now, I present my first interview question that I asked. Also I thanked her, for agreeing to let me interview her because I thought it was nice of her to do. After I had asked my questions, I thanked her for her time and thanked her for the books she writes. I also shared a little bit about myself, along with my senior project video I made back in 2013. 

Me: ''What was the inspiration for The Shadow Children Series?''

Margaret Peterson Haddix: ''Hi Elizabeth, you can find info about my inspiration for Among The Hidden here: https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fhaddixbooks.com%2Fbook%2Famong-the-hidden%2F%3Fpg%3Dfaq&h=ATNLGn3ySsahRf3I_5sSew0kOtJezWL69kLt6EiPXG5vF0iLqxa_VcqTG7Ay9XDBMt86wIuCMIT5xO7RCMvQEpIY4hjurRcNHkX2tKxH6WfzVLPLA3xX . ''

Me: ''How long was it before you knew you wanted to write books?''

Margaret Peterson Haddix: ''I started thinking about wanting to be a writer when I was in third grade.'' ''I didn't think of it as a realistic dream, though, something I enjoyed.''

Me: '' What do you do that helps you when you get writers block?

Margaret Peterson Haddix: ''As far as how I deal with writers block, I try to plan ahead to prevent it, but sometimes it happens anyway. If it's not too bad, I make myself keep going, and tell myself that even if my writing is really bad, I can always go back and revise.'' ''If that's just making me more frustrated, I step away from what I'm working on, and either exercise or do some really, really boring chore that lets my mind wander and solve the problem in the story I'm working on.'' ''Sometimes it takes awhile, but eventually that usually works.'' ''Anyhow best of luck to you with your writing!'' ''I hope you achieve all of your dreams!'' ''All best, Margaret Peterson Haddix.

Me: ''Thank you so much, I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.''
