Today on the blog we have Rhea Woodruff. Take a look at her story; it's inspiring!
Here is my interview with Rhea:
What is your book about?
When I was three months old, my
mother was well aware that I did not reach the benchmarks of her other
children. I did not roll over, make any effort to lie on my stomach or attempt
any crawling motions so my mom knew something was not right. Her in laws
insisted that I needed a medical evaluation, so we went to Duke University
Hospital in New Orleans, where I went though a serious of tests. The results were
devastating. They told my mother that I would not walk and would probably never
be able to read. As I mentioned earlier, she knew something wasn't right . As a
child, I didn't know I was developmentally delayed and would have to try harder
than normal people. I need to tell this story about my life and that others
like me will identify with it and how it relates to their lives to never give
up and be inspired in your dreams that you may come true.
Tell us about your latest book? Are you writing
anther book now?
Born Special is about my life
growing up with a learning disability and being told I would not talk, read or
write. I never gave up showing the doctors they were wrong and I did approve
them wrong. I always had to take special classes all my life. I always got
picked on and called names. I have been blessed in my life and I thank God
every day for Everything he does for me. Yes, I am working on my Third memoir
called Miracle Baby. Its a story about the baby I thought I would never have
and about her life growing up. She just turned a year august 12,2014. She is a
blessing to our family and brings everyone Joy.
When did you first think about writing? What
prompted you to submit your first book?
I thought about writing all the
time when I was in high school. I always read James Patterson books and some
day, I thought I wanted to be like him and followed my dream as a writer and It
came true. Its a wonderful feeling.
How long does it take you to write a book?
It takes me about a year to finish
a book and get it organized with details to get a publisher to take it. I am
looking forward to writing my third memoir now.
Do you have a set schedule for writing or you
just go with the flow? Where do your ideas come from?
I always just go with the flow
with writing. I never know what will I will write since I write about
everything in my life that happens. I write memoirs to inspire others in my
life experiences as I grow as a writer.
Please tell us about yourself! What are some of
your favorite things?
Dessert is Cheesecake
City is West Virginia
Season is Summer
Type of hero is James Patterons
Color is Light blue
Sports is Soccer, Volleyball
Books is action, self help,

What book for you has been the easiest to write?
the hardest? the most fun?
The hardest book was my first
memoir Growing up special. I had to remember all the past things when I was
young and I could not do it all. It wasn't easy. The most fun and easy was born
special and my next memoir miracle baby.
What is the most rewarding thing about being a
writer?
I think the most rewarding
thing about being a writer is seeing your work everywhere and Inspiring every
readers that reads your work. Its a wonderful feeling knowing that you touched
so many people with your words.
