My parents were very encouraging people when it came to my eduction. It was pretty much a given that I would be a writer in some form. Mama was a librarian and Daddy, an avid reader who met her in the library, always encouraged me in that direction.
My teachers throughout school said the same: You should be a writer. You have a way with words.
I tried my hand at journalism and it got me nowhere. Now I'm writing for myself. Continuing stories I'd started in my late teens based on me and my friends and our adventures. I think they'd make great juvenile books.
All I need is a little support -- emotionally and professionally. I can do it.
It's my dream job.
