I've always been a reader and a writer. I wrote my first story at age 4. Yeah, it sucked, but I was 4. I've also always loved to draw and paint, and I love art. Creative spirit ;)
I tell the neophyte: Write a million words–the absolute best you can write, then throw it all away and bravely turn your back on what you have written. At that point, you’re ready to begin. — David Eddings
