Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
English wasn’t my favorite subject in high school but each semester we were required to research and write a 1500 word “theme.” The paper required proper research, format, footnotes, bibliography, and file cards. Writing then was a CHORE but that discipline was the foundation for writing.
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up on a small farm in Texas where we frequently dealt with the harsh realities of the farm life solving the problems of daily life. I came home from Ag class one day and told my dad, according to the textbook, it was time to plow the corn. I remember clearly him saying “Son I plow the corn when it needs to be plowed not when a textbook says it needs to be plowed.” On the farm I learned simple is better than complex and practical trumps the theoretical. Frequently when facing a situation, in my mind my dad’s words of wisdom still resonate.
