Richelle E. Goodrich:
You're an author as well as an illustrator. Do you prefer writing or illustrating more than the other, or do you love doing both about the same amount?

Hi, Graham!
I enjoy both writing and illustrating, but my favorite way to spend free time is writing. I feel more confident in my ability to paint a beautiful scene with words. My artwork is okay―maybe even good―but when I hold it up next to other artwork, I realize just how much my talent needs improving. When it comes right down to it, I'd rather write another storybook than take an art class. And I'll admit, I enjoy getting lost in an excellent story more than getting lost in a wonderful piece of art―and I do both frequently!
