When did you first know you wanted to be a writer?
Honestly, I don't remember a time when I wasn't creating stories. I was on the school newspaper staff in elementary school and junior high. My best gal-pal and I co-wrote some truly cringeworthy fanfic together, and I recently found a small portfolio of poetry (some of it good, some of it not so good) that I wrote over the years.
I eventually became a journalist and then a newspaper editor. When those jobs went away (due to closures), I stopped thinking of myself as a writer for many years.
And then came that first novel. I seldom promote it these days because I've grown so much, but it's still out there.
