Seeing the World as Forever New

To a reader, the world is forever new.

As stated in one of the books I’ve read before, “… a new book is one he or she has not read before - even though the author may be long dead.”¹ I’ve read that line countless of times when I was studying the book, Writing for Children and Teenagers, by Lee Wyndham and Arnold Madison, which was part of the materials I’ve got for my course at The Institute of Children’s Literature in Connecticut a few years back.

While that holds true for readers, I’ve realized that it also speaks of the writer’s experiences with each piece he or she would work on - be it an article, a poem, a song, or a story.

Through the years, I’ve noticed that no matter how extensive one’s writing and editing experience is, I often find myself in a whole new ball game, in a different world, every time I start writing and working on a piece.

It’s like I’m always back at where I started: A novice. An apprentice.

Author Interview: SittieCates Interviews Author Melynda Price

Melynda Price

Author of Until Darkness Comes (Redemption Series) and Bonded in Exile

Interviewing Melynda Price, author of Bonded in Exile and Until Darkness Comes, was such a pleasure. In this author interview that was exchanged (mainly) through emails since my computer is still busted, the author had taken me through an interesting ride to her world as an author and as a regular person, how she handles her work, her family, and more.
