I am working on more than one book, but I’ll tell you about one in particular. It feels good to know that people like my stuff.Ĭan you tell us a little about your next book? Selling and signing the books was fun too, because it made me feel excited and happy.
It made me nervous the whole time, but I loved it, because I got to talk with so many people and meet new people. In one of your videos, you mention touring with your father. I like writing, because I’m able to bring my imagination to life through words, and I love to read. What do you enjoy more: writing or illustrating? I like watching how birds act, and could imagine them coming into my house, and talking to me.
I was inspired to write Birds on the Run and Attack of the Reptiles (my first two books) by my love of bird watching. They give me lots of ideas, because I like that kind of magical story, and it makes me want to write magical books.
My favorite books by far are the Harry Potter series. He’s not very smart, but thinks he’s the most Awesome Thing Ever. He loves to eat, and has a best friend named Mark. I like to make up stories about the Koala Wars with all sorts of funny things that have to do with Kinzy. My favorite stuffed animal is named Kinzy (he’s a koala) he has a big imagination. For instance, if I’m playing with stuffed animals, I make up a whole new story idea. I get my story ideas by looking around and exaggerating simple things. Via email, OLL got a chance to speak to Eva regarding her work and experience with NaNoWriMo. Eva was inspired by NaNoWriMo’s Young Writers Program, and has written her own work in November two years in a row. She’s also uploaded a series of short writing lectures about her process, which you can find on her site. Eva writes, illustrates, and publishes her own stories, and has already toured the country selling her own work alongside her father, novelist Jamieson Ridenhour.
At eight years old, Eva Ridenhour already defies expectations about what it means to be a writer.
