Interview with Ann M. Martin discusses how her day goes. She starts with getting herself ready, feed the animals (1 dog and 3 cats and then maybe one rescue cat), then she walks her dog, answers email upstairs then she moves to her dining room which ...she uses as an office because it is quiet, she then writes for a few hours. In the afternoon she takes her dog, Sadie, for a real walk, which means a couple of miles, then she takes care of other things, such as more email, paying bills, or whatever. Then she talks about some of the tips she gives kids about writing. First, to read different kinds of writing, poetry, fiction, newspaper, or non fiction. Second, to be a writer, which doesn't mean you have to write stories, you can simply keep a journal. Sometimes these are the best source of material for a story. (3:17)

New York Times bestselling author Ann M. Martin talks about her newest series Main Street. Main Street came about after the Babysitters Club ended. She was not interested in writing another series. But then gave her the idea to write with a large gro...up of characters. Her favorite thing about writing a series is that when she gets to the end of a book she knows there is always another one, she doesn't have to say good-bye to the characters. Favorite character in Main Street is Flora, because she relates to her the most.
