Writing

Now and again I get the question of how I started my writing career. I usually say I always wrote, and that is true, but there is more to it than that. The first time I remember writing was when I was about four and I found my fathers pen and a book with wide margins. I started scribbling nonsense, and when my father found me, instead of punishing me, he taught me to write instead. Years later, to support my family, I sold "Blood and Thunder" stories, with romance and mystery. I then started to write novels, which I am still writing today, including Little Women, and all of its sequels. That is all I did to start writing. Of course, there were people who doubted my ability to write. I brought a story to an editor and was told to stick to my teaching. Ha! How wrong they were!
