The problem with writing a book in verse is, to be successful, it has to sound like you knocked it off on a rainy Friday afternoon. It has to sound easy. When you can do it, it helps tremendously because it's a thing that forces kids to read on. You have this unconsummated feeling if you stop.

When the world says, Give up, Hope whispers, Try it one more time.You have more potential than you believe you do.Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened.
