Also, i understand callies pov. I am currently trying to stop cutting. My parents found out and they think its because of scool. Its not. The kids dont matter. Its the family. Being my sisters shadow, always made to fallow in her footsteps. Then on top of that, im really tiny for my age so im kinda like becca in the book. But i love food. Please be my mentor, and guide. I chose to ask you because you inspired me in ways i never knew was possible.

Do you have any good writing techniques? Like do you plan it out, or just go with the flow of it? Thank you.

A fellow novelist,

Becca

I’m writing a book right now too. My book is centered around a ten year old orphaned boy. it’s called first and last. It’s my saddest story. Little Gerald blames himself for his mom’s abuse on his dad, and he hurts himself. he cuts himself and his helpless dad sees the marks and trust everything in his power to help the boy. That’s the summery. Want to know more, contact me, or wait for the book to come out on the store shelves.

Why did you write cut? Did it just come to you in a dream, or did you experience this? What you did for Callie was good. She needed he. Please, if you would, can you be my Writing mentor? I would love it so much. Thank you. BT message me at 1(810)546-5326

Hi Patty,

Would you recommend your book “Cut” for a young person who is currently cutting? Might he or she find solace in the characters’ stories and see that there is light at the end of the tunnel? A child I love is having a rough time with this at the moment and I’m looking for books that may help.

Although I won’t get to meet you, Patricia, because I’ll be at the first week of Stony Brook Southampton Children’s Literature Conference (doing middle grade with Kate McMullan), I so appreciate your post about the experience. Thanks go to Emma Walton Hamilton for sharing your post link!

Is it July yet?

I went to SCBWI LA conference last summer and loved every moment. Southampton is a lot more hands-on. I wasn’t ready for it last year. But I am this year. You can find out more about it on the FB Children’s Book Hub, or type in Southamptom Stony Brook Children’s Literature Conference. Have a wonderful time at SCBWI. So glad I went.

Thank you for sharing about your experience as a workshop leader at the Southamptom Childrens Literature Conference! I was especially delighted to know some of those who studied with you have gone on to be published. What a fun reunion that will be!

Here’s my WHOOP for being accepted into the Southampton summer session. I hope to meet you, although I will be spending my mornings with Peter Reynolds in picture books. I review your novels on my blog. Just purchased your new book. I also have a background as a journalist, and the tough topics you tackle in your books are right up my alley. I’m really looking forward to the conference. — Patricia
