I have noticed that you have a lot of very different writing styles. For example, Mercy Watson is very different from Edward Tulane, which is very different from Flora and Ulysses, which is very different from The Norendy Tales. Do you find it difficult to switch between writing styles? Do you switch between styles based on the mood that you are in?
Shin kids (Age 16, 14, 11): how many of the stories you write (even rough drafts in your journal or etc) end up being published (est. percentage?)? Has that grown over time as you’ve established your reputation/relationship with publishers or has it been around the same throughout your writing history?
Which of your books have been turned into Visual Media (movies/ videos/ tv shows)?
When you write a story do you have names for your characters in your head or do you have to think about it for awhile? Because I love your names in because of Winn Dixie
How do you come up with your ideas for books? Any tips for young authors? How did you come up with the idea for Flora and Ulysses? Are you writing a new book?
