Students ask a lot of questions when writers visit schools, but some of them can knock you for a loop:
One student asked, "How can you write about history - it's soooo boring ! "
That one stumped me for a minute , mainly because I LOVE history.
I replied -- that I don't write about the boring stuff. I try my best to find 'fascinating facts' and do include those. For example, did you know that.... (and then pull out some of the weird and wonderful things I discovered while researching my books.)
