Hi! I just finished reading your story and I honestly loved it. The way you brought the characters and emotions to life made the whole experience so enjoyable. There was something really special about the way everything unfolded. What made you decide to write this particular story?

I was inspired by both Gravity Falls and Invader Zim, which is how I actually pitch this story idea. I have been wanting to create a science fiction soace exploration story for younger audiences like Star Wars the Clone Wars from Cartoon Network.

@Sarah DeSalvo, That’s such a fun combination of inspirations! I can definitely see how Gravity Falls and Invader Zim could help give it that unique mix of adventure and humor. I love that you’re aiming to create something younger audiences can really enjoy. What kind of world or characters do you want to explore next in the story?

@Sarah DeSalvo, That makes the story even more meaningful especially since it comes from personal experience. I’d love to see how you bring those emotions into the characters. What inspires you most about it? & btw where are you from?

I really liked your story. Was there a particular scene that you wrote first and built the rest of the story around?

Well at first there were supposed to be only two siblings in the family, but then I added a third child to the mix because i felt it would increase tension, even though this story is intended for middle grade audiences like the reading grade is rated G or PG.

@Sarah DeSalvo,That’s actually such a thoughtful way to build the story! I really like how you started with two siblings and then added a third just to create more tension it sounds like that could make the family dynamics way more interesting and emotional. And I love that you’re keeping the middle grade audience in mind while shaping the story. It already sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into making the characters and their relationships feel meaningful.
What made you decide that adding the third sibling would create the kind of tension you wanted for the story?
