Quote

I wasn't always a writer. When I went to college and majored in fine arts, I was a painter. Then I was a stay-at-home mom.

Well, I always wanted to write from the time I was very little, and my mother encouraged me. She wrote a journal from the time she was 15 up until about the age of 76.

Without a doubt my mother was an inspiration for my writing. This is true in many ways, but mostly because she is a wonderful storyteller, without even knowing it.

I used to love writing in my journal.

My parents were avid readers. Both had ambitions to write that had been abandoned early in life in order to get on with life.

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

I've always been a writer, and in high school, I was the editor of my school newspaper and I got a writing scholarship. It's always been a passion of mine.

Since childhood, I wrote a lot of fiction, a lot of stories, but I most loved writing essays.

My dad was an editor and a writer, and that's actually what I aspired to be.

I always wanted to be a writer.
