What influenced your writing?
I was five years old. I saw the Wizard of Oz for the first time, and I thought that the Wicked Witch of the West was the most awesome person ever. She could throw fire, disappear in a cloud of smoke, and fly on a broomstick! So, I created an imaginary friend who, at the time, was modeled after the Wicked Witch. All my life, I have made up stories about her.
When did you first start writing?
I think that I first started writing when I was around 6 years old.
