I am very fortunate in that I have spent pretty much my whole life being a writer, and before I was a writer, I was a storyteller.
I feel like a very lucky person. From the time I was young, I had a dream of becoming a writer. Now that dream has come true, and I am able to make my living doing something I really love.
I wrote for years before I was ever published, and I don't think I could ever stop. That said, I was also a veterinarian before I sold my first book, and I still volunteer my time to help with animal welfare causes. So that is a career I would be happy to return to - while still secretly writing strange stories back in my doctor's office.
I love writing. I feel ridiculously lucky that this is what I get to do all day.
I am writing more than I have ever done. My life has come back to me in the most extraordinary way.
I can't say that I ever actually decided to become a writer. It kind of snuck up on me.
My career as a magazine writer was largely prefaced on the idea of curiosity, to go on adventures and weasel my way into the lives of people that I admire.
