2. Yes, the festival motivated me to write because seeing all the different technics authors use didn't make it seem as hard as just writing a rough draft, revising, and editing.
3. My favorite author was Elisa Carbone because she brought in objects that inspired her to write about certain things, she also included pictures of things that she saw while she was doing research that she includes in her books.

The Literature Festival encouraged me to read those author's books! One reason is I knew more about the book and author. Second is I know some of the background information on those books!
Yes, because the authors said anyone could write a story. That motivated me to write more in free time. Or at least try to! It was for better because now I cab practice writing and also write books for school or just anytime!
My favorite author was Roland Smith. To me he was the one to connect more to you. Because he also talked about his books and made it a good time. Whenever he talked about a book he would tell us what a second graders response was. It was hilarious! He was my absolute favorite!

It did encourage me to read more because some of the books I heard about sounded good so I want to read them all. It did motivate me to write better because I used the "reading is revising" skill Roland Smith told us about. My favorite author is Roland Smith because he told us that if we wanted to be a writer when we grew up, we should always keep a little notebook is our pockets if we get a good idea and the reading is revising skill.

1. Yes the literature festival encouraged me to read. Why, because all the authors had to READ to be a good writer.
2.Yes the trip motavated me to write more because they all started out like everyone of us and ended up... well they ended up being famouse for their writing. And I think that if we try to keep writing then we could make something of it.
3. My favorite author was Roland Smith because i love his books (IQ,Peak,Zacks Lie- Jacks Run and so on)and his writing SKILLS... while he was explaing his way of writing a book it really felt like he reached out to me.
