Learning How To Be An Author from "Dear Mr. Henshaw"
Throughout my years, I have read many books that have taught me insightful and wonderful things. However, one book that taught me important lessons is Beverly Cleary’s Dear Mr. Henshaw. This book has given me some meaningful writing advice. For starters, Mr. Henshaw wrote to Leigh Botts that in order to become a great author, he must “read, look, listen, think, and write” (14). For instance, he mailed Leigh a list of questions to answer so he could practice writing, although Leigh was not happy about it. As for me, I have followed some of Mr. Henshaw’s tips. I sometimes read my favorite books and write during my spare time. Journaling and reading books from authors such as Barbara Park, Annie Bryant, and Ann M. Martin are especially my go-tos. Additionally, I have gotten similar advice from authors that I have met like Ruth Ozek, the woman behind A Tale For The Time Being. I have yet to follow the rest of Mr. Henshaw’s tips. Inevitably, most of us get distracted by other aspects of life that we enjoy such as television and mobile games.
