How Did You Start?
I’ve been quite the bookworm lately, which is refreshing for me, because I usually spend my time reading articles rather than books. I’ve started reading Stephen King’s On Writing. It’s actually very entertaining and nothing what I expected. It has writing tips woven into King’s memories of his early writing career as a child. All I have to say is that I wish I was submitting manuscripts at 14 years old. Maybe I would be farther along. When I was young, I used to write my own stories and illustrate them too. Most of them were about my cat Whiskers and others were about trips to the zoo. I guess I was more into nonfiction than fiction. I still have most of my stories, because my teacher had us laminate everything. So how did it start for you? When did you start writing?
