Smashwords Interview

How did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I grew up in a family of introverts and readers (same thing?). My mother was a teacher and my father was an artist so creativity and knowledge were both highly prized in our family. As introverts, we were all much more inner-directed than outer-directed, so we would all be more apt to be reading or pursuing our own personal endeavors rather than socializing or entertaining. I'm sure having a rich inner life contributed greatly to my first attempts at story-telling and my father (also a writer) was a terrific sounding board and champion of my efforts.
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
My first story was about bunny rabbits. I was about 5. I do not remember the plot nor the characters, and although I'm sure it was riveting, it has been lost to time. The only thing I do remember is my mother reading it and asking me how I knew to put the quotes around the bits of dialog. I just said that that's the way I had seen it in books, so that's what I did.
