I wrote my first story when I was six or seven.
I have written stories since I was a child.
I started writing stories when I was six years old. I was a very shy kid, extremely shy, and I had a fabulous first-grade teacher who told me to write.

I began writing fictional stories and little screenplays when I was in fifth grade.
