Hello! I have a question. I love writing, but whenever I have an idea, it seems like somebody else had already had that same idea (or one super close to it) and I have to start all over! Do you ever have that problem? What should I do about it!?

I don't think you need to worry about this. When it comes to copyright, ideas aren't the issue; expression is. The way you express your idea in a story will be unique.

Awesome! I can't wait until your new book comes out! I really liked Fairest and Ella Enchanted! Anyone could probably read those over and over and they could never get old! It's pretty hard to find books you can read a lot and not get tired of it. Which book was your first book you ever wrote? Was it Ella Enchanted?
