I started this thread in the Children's book writing site so thought it would be a good question to ask here as well.
For those of you who want to be or are writers, when did you first decide that you wanted to write books ands make money from them?
I wanted to be a writer ever since I was in the sixth grade and read my first chapter book as a class. Each one of us would a paragraph or two out loud in each chapter and I was enthralled by it for reasons I cannot even explain now.
I even got my first typewriter on my 13th birthday. My cousin and I used to write silly commercials and stories to go along with pictures we drew of Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, etc...
What's your story?
