When we did not have an assigned topic for posting, I thought about researching Paterson as well. I think the author's life and expereince influences their writing. The quote you got was interesting, it really does show how down to earth she is. I like the fact that she doesnt hide or is not ashamed that everyday is not going to be a smooth one.

It really helps me personally because I try to look at reasons the author may have written about certain things based on what I know about him or her. Having read Paterson's book in high school, I found that this quote from her helped me to take a different perspective on the read.

I find it very interesting how some authors who are great writers had no intention of becoming a writer. I completely agree with your last line about how anyone can do it as long as they are in the right frame of mind. I think that is so true! Thats a great idea that you researched the authors past.
