I've been writing since I was a kid. It's as much a part of me as anything is. As it does for a lot of people, it started out as a love for reading. My brother and I didn't always have what other children our age had, but what we did have made me the person I am today.Other kids had TV's in their bedroom, I had a reading light that you could crank up so it never ran out of battery. Other kids had a favourite PlayStation game, I had a favourite Microsoft Word font. Garamond, by the way.Other kids had the latest iPhones, but I had books - and lots of them. For a seven-year-old boy, fiction was a way of escaping my own mundane reality, and it wasn't until I began to internally analyze and criticize the books I read that I realized that I had a writer (and a dash of editor) somewhere within me.ver menos
