Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
It was about a young girl who meets an alien girl and they become friends. I remember that it there was very little about the story that was science-fiction. It was about the friendship. And to this day, friendships and other types relationships is what I write about.
When did you first start writing?
Second grade was when I wrote my first story. I didn't write another until the sixth grade. From there, I really didn't write much other than some random ideas that would pop in my head that wouldn't go past a few chapters until I was 22. I was out of school and living on my own and had a story idea, so that was when I became more dedicated to my craft.
