The X'ed-Out X-Ray
“It was a lot of fun to write. Many of you ask if my stories are taken from real life. Yes, parts of these stories do come from things that happened to me or to people I know. Here’s one example: When I was Dink’s age, I once climbed up on a neighbor’s garage to watch his dad do some repair work. When my mom called me for lunch, I made the mistake of jumping down to the ground! I landed on my right arm instead of my feet, and my arm broke. I was in a cast for several weeks! This gave me the idea... to have Dink hurt his arm, and the rest of the story came along after that.
I think most writers get ideas from real-life situations. But we also make up a lot-that’s why these books are called fiction. I am also asked if I know real kids named Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose. Nope. I made them up, but I have to admit that when I created Dink I was thinking about myself at his age. In fact, when I was in college, my nickname was Dink!
I can’t believe that I have almost reached the end of this series.MoreLess
