Writing is like playing golf - you have to keep working at your swing.
As a child. I grew up on a small farm, so I did a lot of drawings of animals, chickens and people. At the bottom of every page, I'd put a strange scribble. I was emulating adult handwriting, though I didn't actually know how to write.
I used to write stories. Handwriting stories in school were a big deal for me. That's kind of what I did.
My writing process is a mix of research, personal experiences, washing the dishes, raising kids while thinking - then writing.
The one thing that makes writing a better pastime than reading is that you can make things turn out the way you want in the end!

Writing is what I do. It's what makes me tick.
I've been writing in some way, shape, or form for as long as I can remember.
It was my fifth grade teacher who introduced the idea that writing could be more than a hobby for me.
Other than fishing and a little bird-hunting, all I do is write.
