My mom is an English teacher. She taught English to elementary ages for over 30 years. My mom has written two children stories over 10 years ago and even though writes articles for newspaper/magazines, hasn't written any books since. I told her she needs to think more outside the box and write a novel like "Harry Potter" or "Twilight." Those kind of storys reach millions and became popular over night. Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight", although fun, and a quick read to me was not as popular or original as J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter." This women was literally broke and would soothe her children at night with bedtime stories of Harry and his friends at Hogwarts. I'm shocked that more authors in the the writing business don't think of these eccentric stories. Because I feel the best way to become as popular as these did was to come up with something so imaginative, that when people read it it's like a new idea.
