【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 For most of her life, Suanne Laqueur39。s passion for storytelling was shown on the dance floor. Although Laqueur began writing at a young age, dancing always took center stage. She majored in dance and theater at Alfred University and taught at her mother39。s dance studio in CrotononHudson, New York, for years. But when her mother was ready to retire and an opportunity opened for Laqueur to take over the studio, she realized she had no interest in taking on the business side of her art: Owning a studio is a lot of work—financially, logistically. I love the teaching, the choreographing(編舞), the staging, but I didn39。t want to own it. Yet Laqueur39。s disinterest in running the studio changed when she became a selfpublished author. In the fall of 2013, she decided to pursue Selfpublishing as a way of sharing her first pleted novel with friends and family. During the process, she realized that following her true passion—telling stories through writing—made the business of the art worthwhile, and owning that business meant she could direct her writing career however she chose. Starting with her second selfpublished novel, she began investing more time in marketing and building her audience. Her investment paid off. Since 2014, Laqueur, now 49, has selfpublished six novels, which collectively have hundreds of ratings and reviews on Goodreads. Her 2016 novel An Exaltation of Larks stole the show at the 25th Annual Writer39。s Digest SelfPublished Book Awards, topping more than 2,300 entries to win the grand prize. You have to write the most truthful story to you, and I think selfpublishing allows that freedom,39。 she says. If you work with traditional publishing, it39。s more about what39。s marketable, There are tradeoffs, which everyone will tell you, but by selfpublishing I have control of the book, I have control of the story, and I39。m cool with that.（1）From Paragraph 2, we can learn that Laqueur _______.

As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fadeor so we thought, as she didn39。t mention it again. We bought the latest fashionable Baby Sitter39。s Club dolls, a holiday dress and some beautiful story books. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she proudly announced that she really wanted a bike more than anything else. It was just too late, what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying lastminute gifts. We could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. What if I make a little bicycle out of clay and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike? Her dad asked. The theory, of course, being that since that is a highticket item and she is such a big girl, it would be much better for her to pick it out. So he spent the next five hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike. Three hours later, on Christmas morning, we were excited for Rose to open the little heartshaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. She looked at me and then at her dad and said, so does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one? Beaming, I said, Yes. Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I39。d rather keep this than get a real bike. At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!（1）Rose39。s p
