Hmm, interesting question. I don't think I ever really decided to become a writer. It was more of a natural evolution. I was always a reader first and foremost, and the more that I read, the more I started to realize that it would be fun to create stories of my own. And once I started, I was hooked! I get a big rush from completing a story, and I chase after that feeling now. I'm definitely not one of those natural writers, though, for whom words just spill effortlessly onto the page. I mean they do at times, but other times it can be a real struggle. I often wish I was one of those naturals though!

How about you? How long have you been writing and why did you start?
