:04:13. > :04:15.all the details about the new movie and what it takes to
:04:16. > :04:25.become a successful writer. Hello, I am Cressida Cowell and I am
:04:26. > :04:31.the author of the How To Train Your Dragon books.
:04:32. > :04:38.Some may say that this is poorly conceived! It is good that I never
:04:39. > :04:43.listen. How did you come up with the
:04:44. > :04:49.concept? Dragons were real, according to the
:04:50. > :04:52.Vikings. So I pretended that that was the case. I started writing the
:04:53. > :04:58.books when I was nine years old. What happened now? You will love
:04:59. > :05:01.this. What should we expect from the
:05:02. > :05:05.second film? There are more dragons and it is
:05:06. > :05:09.bigger. The flying sequences are grander. I think that children will
:05:10. > :05:15.be blown away. You have 11 books, but there is a
:05:16. > :05:18.new book coming out as well. This book that I have coming out is
:05:19. > :05:26.about all the different Dragon species. It tells you all about the
:05:27. > :05:30.difference PCs and gives you -- types of dragons, and it gives you
:05:31. > :05:36.ideas of how to look after them. It is a reference book.
:05:37. > :05:39.If you love writing and like to make up stories and draw your own
:05:40. > :05:43.characters, maybe you could be a writer one day. Why not?
:05:44. > :05:47.Last up, some amazing art that you can't see in a gallery, or own.
:05:48. > :05:49.American artist Andres Amador uses sand as his canvas, and creates
:05:50. > :05:53.It takes him hours to complete each artwork but they disappear forever
:05:54. > :06:00.That's all from me, Newsround's back this afternoon at 4:20pm.
