I started writing stories in my spare time.

I've been taking longer to write stories lately.

In many ways, I've been writing personal stories all my life.

Like so many writers I started writing stories because I didn't have much time for anything else.

I have written stories since I was a child.

I wrote about four novels before I wrote a word of journalism.

I come from a long line of people that write. My folks ran a weekly newspaper.

I was fortunate that I was at newspapers for eight years, where I wrote at least five or six stories every week. You get used to interviewing lots of different people about a lot of different things. And they aren't things you know about until you do the story.

I've been writing stories, in one form or another, since I was a kid.

I started out writing stories because that's all I wanted to read, but now I don't know if I'll ever write one again.
