Quote

I've been writing since I was really young, so I considered myself a writer for a really long time.

I've been writing since I was sixteen. At first, I wrote mostly short stories and poetry. The first thing I ever had published was a poem about a football game. It was printed in my local newspaper.

I always wrote. My parents are writers. It just seemed like something people did.

Writing is just something I've always done. It's just kind of the reality of who I am.

The act of writing is a kind of catharsis, a liberation, but I never really concerned myself with that. I write because it interests me.

I've been writing since I'm five years old. I've been writing books since high school - junior high, high school. I write every single day. I never thought I'd be published.

A writer is what I am.

I think writing is an extension of a childhood habit - the habit of entertaining oneself by taking interesting bits of reality and building upon them.

I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.
