Quote

I never studied writing, but I'd always been a reader and had a secret fantasy about being a writer.

Writing is something that I've always loved. That stems from my love of being a reader.

I knew I would read all kinds of books and try to get at what it is that makes good writers good. But I made no promises that I would write books a lot of people would like to read.

I think the reason I'm a writer is because first, I was a reader. I loved to read. I read a lot of adventure stories and mystery books, and I have wonderful memories of my mom reading picture books aloud to me. I learned that words are powerful.

I've always been a writer. I hope to continue to write books until I can't anymore.

I got into writing because books and stories were always a big part of my life. I loved listening to them and then reading them, and I loved making them up.

I primarily read fiction, and I read a good many wonderful books while writing 'The Visibles.'

I've always been a reader and a writer.

I was always writing the books that I wanted to write, books that demanded to be written at the time. But, like most writers, you start off feeling your way.
