High value, dream and daily ambition are very important, never give up, and find the thing that you feel is right.
The creator, specializing in fantasy books for children and young adults, expressed her happiness to be in Sharjah for the first time and to participate in this great event, highlighting a number of her books classified on the New York Times bestseller list, such as: "The Cavendish House for Boys and Girls" and "Sort of" Happiness" and "Imperium Trilogy" and others, explaining that she has presented 11 books and novels for different age groups, and is currently working on the completion of three other new books.
Claire added: "A person's experience and voice is a unique and qualitative thing because no one can own it or live it except for him, so it is considered very valuable, and it must be developed and preserved through continuous reading, continuous research, and sharing the experience with specialists such as teachers and writers to develop it, and the dream is The daily life of a person is very important because it opens up horizons to motivate us to complete our projects and future aspirations.”
She added, "As for the third axis, it is not receiving, because surrender means failure and the end of the dream," reviewing a long series of dozens of papers that she said were rejection letters from the publishing houses that she was addressing with the aim of publishing some of her texts at the beginning of her literary career, and that did not prompt her to surrender, but was A catalyst for success and what it is today.
And Claire continued, "The fourth and important axis also comes, which is to search for the thing that you feel is right, in order to love what you do and move forward with it." I don't feel like I want to do anything else."
