Interview with Writer Rebecca Yoder
1.
Have you always had a desire to write?
Yes
2.
What kinds of things do you like to write
about?
I have two favorites. I like to write
about relationships with difficult twists that
work out because of faith, grace and love. My
secret favorite is magical, fantasy stories. I love
writing complicated plots involving fairies with
humans or a dragon, a king and an old castle.
3.
Do you plan to pursue a published author career?
Yes, I plan to
begin by becoming an Indie author then pursuing printed publishing.
4.
What are your current projects?
Currently I have two blogs:
where I post varied writings
and
where I have begun a
newspaper about my mobile home park. It's sarcastic and exaggerat-
ed--a parody of what true newspapers should be. I'm also working on
a novel idea about a single woman in her early 30's who just can't
seem to move from the solo scene to the married scene. But she
keeps herself entertained by attending a book club of five older ladies
and making up new recipes for her best friend, her crockpot.
5.
What part of writing comes easy to you?
After recovering from
a ten-year lapse of writing fiction, coming up with unique ideas and
writing them out while I'm inspired is once again easy.
6.
What part of writing is difficult?
Being motivated to sit down
and write is difficult. Hidden thoughts of wondering if people will like
what I write or if I'll ever finish my stories makes it easy to make ex-
cuses.
7.
What do you hope your writing will accomplish?
I will make
my lifelong dream come true of being an author. I started writing
when I was in second grade and have wanted to be an author since I
was 12. Also, I plan to spread God's grace and love through the way
my story characters work through their lives. I want people to learn
while reading something entertaining. And I want them to laugh and
give their minds a break.
8.
What is your book
Betty Butter
about? Is it children's fiction?
Betty Butter
is a children's fiction book about a sincere little lady who
lives in a cottage in the woods. She loves to cook and to eat, especially
butter. At the end of the book is a recipe for homemade butter that
children can make with their parents. The activity provides bonding
time between parents and children while making things the old-
fashioned way.
Rebecca Yoder has written a
lovely children’s book titled
Betty Butter
.
