There are bits and pieces of me probably in every one of my 35 or so books.
From Jerry Spinelli
I would say if you want to write, write what you care about. I think that's the most important thing. I think if you write what you care about, you stand a better chance of having the reader care about your story.
Even including myself, my favorite author is Eileen Spinelli, who I happen to live with. She's a terrific writer and has written several of my all-time favorites.
I'm remembering one book that I wrote, 'Fourth Grade Rats,' that took a month to write, but most of them, full-length novels, I would say about a year.
Write what you care about. If you do that, you stand the best chance of doing your best writing.
Peer pressure is just that: pressure.
