IAN: Please
tell us about your latest books.
Jennelle White: I am the author of two
books: Growing Up, Poetry and Easiest Short/Long
Term Plan For Saving Money.
Growing Up, Poetry is
about a collection of 46 whimsical poems with pictures that captures that
Spirit of Youth. Seeing the world through youthful eyes. For ages 2-7 years
old, although adults like the book also. One can experience the joys of
childhood and gives everyone a a sense of peace & happiness. There are
poems about a puppy, a kitten, stars, the seasons, and many more. Similar to
the MG nursery rhymes. From HomeSchooling Library " it's the perfect
introduction to poetry for little ones."
Easiest Short/Long Term
Plan For Saving Money. it's been said to pay yourself first, at least 10% of
your earnings. The problem is that most people may not be able to set aside
10%of their earnings, let alone 20%-30%. My book teaches people, based on your
pay schedule, a much easier and better way to save money. Easy to understand as
uses basic math and benefits everyone. You don' t have to be a financial guru
to use this plan. Not about investments.
From Blue Ink Review - "Out of all the PF books out there on the
market, Jennelle White's money savings plan book has the most truthful title."
Based on only two steps.
IAN: What
formats are your books published in?
Jennelle White: Easiest Short/Long Term
Plan For Saving Money - is available as paperback and Ebook. Growing Up, Poetry is a hardcover book.
IAN: Where
can we go to buy your books?
IAN: What inspired you to write your books?
Jennelle White: For my money savings plan book- I
thought how could I come up with a plan that people can save money regardless
of their debts, income, job, and location? I had a dream, got up the next day
and wrote it down on paper, then made it into a book. For my children's picture poetry book - As I
young child I always loved reading the Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes so I was
inspired to write poems that children could relate to.
IAN: Do you
use an outline or do you just wing the first draft?
Jennelle White: No, I did not use an outline. I just
wrote down the words as they came to me especially with my children's poems.
IAN: Do you
have a specific writing style?
Jennelle White: No.
IAN: How
did you come up with the titles?
Jennelle White: For Easiest Short/Long Term Plan For
Saving Money - I came up with this title because it is the easiest money
savings plan for both short term and long term savings. For Growing Up, Poetry - I came up with the title because of my love for
nursery rhymes as a child and have experienced life events mostly at the parks
I visited when younger and now. Several of my poems are about things I observed
in the parks, playing outdoors when I was little, and it was the reason I chose
the title - Growing Up, Poetry for my children's book.
IAN: How
much of the book is realistic?
Jennelle White: All of it.
IAN: What
books have most influenced your life most?
Jennelle White: I love all types of books but I have
to say the comic books especially the ones about the Super Heros and The
Archies. I love self -help books and books about ghost stories. Also, religious self- help books. Also other
books that were inspiring to me are books about animals, nature, Walt Disney
books, and Sesame Street books.
IAN: If you
had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your books?
Jennelle White: No, I would not change anything. I am
quite happy with the way my books have turned out.
IAN: Do you
recall how your interest in writing originated?
Jennelle White: Yes.
My interest in writing started when I was in Junior High School. My teacher
gave our class a project to make a poetry book of some of our most favorite
poems and two of the poems had to be created by each student as their own. My teacher asked if she could keep my poetry
book but l told her "no" since I had worked hard on it and got an A
as my grade. She commented on how much she loved my class poetry book. This was
the beginning and I was inspired to become a writer when I became a little
older.
IAN: Who
designed the covers?
Jennelle White: I designed the covers for both of my
books. Also, I drew all the pictures in my children's picture poetry book - Growing Up,
Poetry.
IAN: Do you
have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
Jennelle White: Yes. Regarding my book: Easiest
Short/Long Term Plan For Saving Money - For those who are young, if you start
out saving money now, the way I've instructed in my book, you will be on your
way to a secure savings plan. You will possibly be able to retire at an early
age because of the amount of money you've saved. The possibilities are endless using
this plan! For middle-aged and older
adults, using my plan can help you to save for retirement and for an awesome
vacation, one that you may have always wanted to go on.
Regarding: Growing Up, Poetry - my book will leave both
children and adults with feelings of peace and happiness. Poetry
has been known to decrease stress in children.
It would be a wonderful edition to
your children's library. If you liked Mother Goose nursery rhymes as a child then you'll
enjoy reading this book as well as it's similar to nursery rhymes.
IAN: Tell
us about your next book or a work in progress. Is it a sequel or a stand-alone?
Jennelle White: Eventually, I would like
to publish another poetry book, children's book, and a scary story based on
true events that I experienced.
Great interview, thanks for sharing it:)
