“You need to give yourself permission to write badly,” said Rex. “Nobody publishes their first draft of anything, so you do need to give yourself that permission to get that first draft out, just so you have some sort of foundational structure that you can start building on.”

At the book signing there was also a viewing of the film Home, a popular children’s movie based on Rex’s novel, The True Meaning of Smekday.
The event was part of the Kingman Area Books Are Magic (KABAM!) Festival.
