Frequetly Asked Questions
​Are you the first person ever to publish a book at age 11?
Sadly no. I believe there are other kids who published there book at a younger age. Maybe in my hometown of
St. Petersburg I'm the youngest person to do do.
How many books are you going to do for Mr.Tickety-Toc Clock?
I'm planning on doing as many as I can come up with. I've already started on drafts for future books I want to do.
How did you start writing?
It all started at a very young age. I started writing about the age of 7. Writing came to me when I started watching my
favorite shows like Barney & Friends and The Wiggles. I became in love with the shows so much that i started creating my
own adventures for them. After creating adventures for my favorite shows, I thought to myself, I should create my own
original adventures. Since then, I've been writing and creating my OWN ORIGINAL adventures.
Did you always want to be a writer?
At the age of 4, i acctually didnt know what i wanted to do in the future. So since my mom was a teacher (and still is), I said to myself that i want to become a teacher too! But then i realized that you had to memorize every subject so i decied to drop that option.
Was Mr.Tickety-Toc Clock your first book that you made?
Mr.Tickety-Toc Clock: Goodnight Mr. Clock is the first ever book i published. But i've made a book before Mr.Tickety-Toc Clock. In 3rd grade, I made my very own graphic novel entitled The Holiday Team. The Holiday Team is about a little boy who loved to invent things. His town was so boring that nothing was there. The little boy suddenly invented Holidays (which later in the story they became superheros). I planned on writing about 30 books in that series but I only got up to the fourth book (so far).
How long does it take you to write a book?
It takes me about 1-4 months to create a new story/finish the draft of it. 2-6 months for the final book,
and about 5 months to edit.
Where do you get your ideas?
Let me just say that I have a very active imagination in my mind. Most of my ideas come from things that happend
at school, cartoons, movies, or I might combine the cartoon life with the real world.
What books do you like to read?
I love fiction books. Books I really like to read include:
The Land of Stories By: Chris Colfer
Diary of A Wimpy Kid By: Jeff Kinney
Captain Underpants By: Dav Pilkey
What do you do when your not writing?
When I'm not writing I love to read. When not reading I love spending time with my family. I love listening to
music. I definetly love watching movies (animated) like Madagascar, Shrek,
Ice Age, Guardians of The Galaxy, Frozen, and lots more! And when I'm not doing those things I might play
Toontown Rewritten (which is an online game).
Will you continue to write more books in the future?
Definetly! I will definitely be writing more books in the future! Expect more Mr.Tickety-Toc Clock books and
new books too.
What’s your advice for aspiring writers?
My advice for future authors is to never give up on your dream. It seems like a difficult task along the way, but
soon, all that hard work will pay off. My next advice is that you should try to come up with an original idea of
a story. When writing a story, don't forget about your audience but don't try and think too much... rememer, your
making the story as you go. When your trying to come up with a good story, take a notebook with you wherever
you go too.
