A.M. Berkowitz Author Interview
Gigglet the Happy Little Piglet Goes to School follows a giggly young piglet as she goes through her day at school and back home. What was the inspiration for your story?
Let me first preface this by saying (this is going to sound a bit crazy, because well, it is…)!
I had been feeling really burnt out and uninspired in my day to day. I was missing the creative side of my life and wanting to do something, ANYTHING that would get me excited about SOMETHING! I felt the super joyful, happy-go-lucky me I’ve always been, slowly starting to slip away.
I went to bed with a heavy heart one night, asking the heavens above for a change. I was dreading facing another day of zero creativity and no inspiration, and I just felt lost. Then something crazy happened…
The next morning I woke up in a different frame of mind. I was hopeful and feeling positive and not dreading the day at all! I went to work, I was checking my emails and saw a spam email that said “Lit Gadget” in the subject line. My mind read the word as “Gigglet”. I did a double take, looked at the word once again and laughed out loud at myself! “Silly Amber, that doesn’t say Gigglet, it says Lit Gadget” LOL!
