That's when I decided I thought I could make a career out of it.

• The process for writing a picture book is completely different from the process of writing a chapter book or novel. For one thing, most of my picture books rhyme.

It can take me several months to write a picture book, but it takes me several years to write a novel.

• I believe, when in my behavior or in relationships or in the way I react to something, that I'm still dealing with some leftover stuff from my childhood, but the good thing is now, because I have learned so much from the Bible, I can tell when I'm behaving wrong and when I'm not, and it doesn't take me very long to realize that's out of fear, or that's because I was controlled as a child, and I can make a conscious decision to behave the way I know I should behave.
