About the Author

When I try my best but no words come I feel worried,
like when I drown in lava.

How does it feel like to be an author?
Great, because everyone will know
the work you wrote. It also feels like you are the most important person in the world.

When I do not have to think more and I know what I have to write,
I feel like sleeping on a giant smooth waterfall full of bubbles.
It also feels like getting untangled from a spider web.
