What do you write?

“We both write in our journals and write storylines for the comic books we make. We were inspired to write a book after participating in an event, and a lady asked why were we selling lemonade and how did we get started.”

Why do you write?”

“We write because it’s fun, a good way to pass time, and a way to pass on information.”

Why does writing matter to you?

“We believe writing matters because it’s a way of learning, a way to communicate, and for a person to express their feelings. For us, writing was a way to communicate and share information about our business.”
