Hi Kea Class,

I would like you to have a look at the official Roald Dahl site: http://www.roalddahl.com/

You need to click on the section: Roald Dahl. Inside this section you will see "an interview with Roald Dahl"

Have a listen to one or two of the interview questions. Post something interesting that you have found out about Roald Dahl on the Kea Class Blog site.

Good Luck!

  2. Hi Kea

    i choose HOW DO YOU GET YOUR IDEAS FOR YOUR STORIES?

    When he gets an idea he quickly writes it down so he won't forget it.
    He says you can be mooching around for a year trying to get a good idea. When he gets a good one he writes it down or else he will forget.

  4. My question is:
    What Is Your Work Routine?
    And he has been doing this for the past 45 years is that writes for about 2 hours because if you write for longer than that you will lose your consentration but that is diffrent for other people.You might find that you can only do it for half an hour 1 hour etc

  9. Hi,
    It took Roald Dahl about 9 months to write Matilda, and when he finished it was wrong, so it had taken him quite a long time by the time he finished it.

    See ya

  12. Question: What is it like writing a book

    Writing is like going on a very long walk
    When you get to the top of a mountain you write some detailed description and so on
    But when you get to the tallest mountain it is the end (VERY detailed part)

  15. My Question:

    It starts always with a tiny seed of an idea, a little germ, and that even doesn't come very easily. You can be mooching around for a year or so before you get a good one. When you get your idea you write it down quickly so you don't forget it.
