I started writing stories in my spare time.

I don't finish every story, but I probably write and send out three out of five of them.

Like so many writers I started writing stories because I didn't have much time for anything else.

I considered that I had to write stories about the people I had met, with whom I'd worked, the history of my books - just in case I up and die.

I've been writing stories, in one form or another, since I was a kid.

I have written stories since I was a child.

I'd been writing stories since I was a child. I wrote little books for my mom and bound them myself with needle and thread. Mostly, they were about my pets.

I wrote my first story when I was six or seven.

I remember all the way back in high school thinking about writing books. And, in fact, I've written a lot of stories. I've got dozens of stories I've written that no one's ever seen.
