What is the aim or goal of your writing:
2nd ed. says, "In writing for young people the necessity for clear thinking and simple language is a continuous challenge. It seems to us that two writers working together increase the dynamics of both. For nature stories there is, of course, a great deal of research, but transforming culled facts into flesh and blood of a story is the big job every time. We love this work. There is never an end to it."
