An Interview
with Christina Leigh Pritchard
What inspired you to write C I N?
It
came from a dream and an old saying told to me by the father of my boss.
When or at what age did you know you wanted to
be a writer?
In
elementary school, there was a contest. It was during that experience when it
was made clear that this is what I wanted to do forever. However, I’d been
writing and reading even before I could spell or read. I’d place a towel under
the door thinking that would keep my family from seeing the light as I flipped
through all my books each night. When that stopped working, I’d take them with
me into the closet.
What is the earliest age you remember reading
your first book?
Maybe
4? With My great-grandmother. She would become animated and encourage me to do
the same.
What genre of books do you enjoy reading?
I
think character oriented books. That’s not really a genre but if I can love and
cry with them then I’m hooked.
What is your favorite book?
To
this day, I still read Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli once a year.
You know I think we all have a favorite
author. Who is your favorite author and why?
I
kind of like them all. Any given day a different color could be my favorite.
I’ve never been consistent. I love variety in all things.
If you could travel back in time here on earth
to any place or time. Where would you go and why?
I
would go back 12 years ago and make better decisions ;)
When writing a book do you find that writing
comes easy for you or is it a difficult task?
Depends
on the story. Fantasy stories can be hard as you have to build the scene
without boring the reader.
Do you have any little fuzzy friends? Like a
dog or a cat? Or any pets?
I
have a family dog. My dog, Teacup, passed away.
What is your ""to die
for"", favorite food/foods to eat?
PIZZA!!
Do you have any advice for anyone that would
like to be an author?
Work
really hard and try not to take criticism to heart, unless it is to become a
better writer.
