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've been writing stories since I was a kid. I love writing stories.

I can make up stories with the best of them. I've been telling stories since I was a little kid.

I was always inventing characters and making up stories.

I was the typical little sister who wanted to be just like her older brother. When I was growing up, my brother wrote phenomenal stories, so I wanted to write them, too.

I always wanted my kids to like me and think I was funny, so I made up this story about a kid named Jake and his racecar that he had built from scratch, fully loaded with whatever fantastical gadget he or I wanted him to have at the moment. I loved making up the stories off the top of my head.

One of the reasons I began to write was because I wanted stories for my children where the characters spoke as they did and had similar life experiences.

What's fascinated me from the time I was a little kid was the way we construct our lives through stories.

When I was a little kid, before I learned how to write, I would tell stories.
