Writers as Readers

2. I enjoy reading and writing anything but my favorite is science fiction and fantasy. I like anything that does not take place in an average high school with average people. Reading should be a way to escape from this world, exercise the imagination, and get new ideas. I don't know why I would want to read about high school kids when I can go be a high school kid. Reading should be an out of this world experience, not an extension of normal life.



8. My favorite series is either Harry Potter or Hunger Games. Not to be cliché, but I do enjoy both of those. In fact, I even read Hunger Games when it was only one book, long before it was “cool.” The reason I love both of the series is because the worlds are so developed. The authors are able to transport the reader to a world completely new and developed. When the reader lives the story, that is a memorable event.

 

11. When I write I do envision the reader. I envision how I write will affect the reader and their thoughts. I want to be able in my writing to take the reader to a place, make them believe what I want, and then completely throw them off with a plot-twisting, heart-wrenching event. When I write, I want to take the reader somewhere. My biggest pet-peeve in reading is when the ending is exactly the same as the beginning. If the book ends and nothing has changed since the beginning, I don’t like it. I’d like to think that whatever I write would be interesting enough to get a wide audience of readers. Having a reader in mind helps to pick a “rating” for the book. If the book is directed at teens there should not be as much profanity of vulgarity in it as an adult themed book.

 

13. I like to think that I would write a book someday. Obviously it’s a lot to hope for, but being the next Suzanne Collins or J.K. Rowling is a deep down dream of mine. My book would be something out of this world, something different. It would be full of plot-twists and emotion. I would not want it to be an average book, but to stand apart. In the about the author section of my book, I would hope it says I’m married living peacefully with my family. I don’t really know what I would want it to say in specific detail, just as long as it is there, published in my name.
