Writers: what words inspire you?
Answered by:
Kurpoing! Because this video of a local actor reading my book, Blueberry Bear always makes me laugh. Laughter is good for the mind, body, and soul. (here is the link), https://drive.google.com/file/. The expression on her face and her voice is hilarious. Knowing my books will engage little ones and/or motivate kids to read is an inspiration for me to keep on writing.
I am a children's book author and I use a lot of Onomatopoeia in my picture books. I love coming up with new words like, Bubba-baloo-ba trouble, fwoop (dog's ears flatten back), fa-lump (running/frolicking).
What is Onomatopoeia? A word phonetically imitates a designated noise or action.
(Hope my video downloads for you. If not, please advise.)
