My mother started reading to me as far back as I can remember. I entered first grade able to read and recite my favorite stories from different fairy tale books. By the time I was in fourth grade I had devoured all the Hardy Boys and found a series of book by Alfred Hitchcock at my local library written for young boys. By sixth grade I'd read the Hobbit and moved on to LOTR.
Through it all my mother was always introducing me to new authors and genres of books to read. I think that in and of itself is where I got my passion to read and write. She loved books and passed that love on to me.
I'm usually the optimist. The glass is half full, things will get better. It isn't always easy but I found when I thought more pessimistic things would go wrong more often.
What is an event that happens locally that you enjoy attending?
Thank you Scarab. I like to have fun with my characters. I really don't like to have a throw away character. The nice thing about going in and expanding on a story is you get to flesh out your supporting cast and beef up the action. Hang on tight, next up is date night.
You always want more and you always complain no matter how long the chapter is that it is too short. Just got to wait till the beta and editor get through it. I promise it is written already.
Alright Chapter 8 is up. Thanks again to Renee for stepping in to do the clean up while poor Frosty deals with family matters. I hate it when a member of the team has something go wrong, and not much can be done when you lose a parent. My heart and best wishes are with her and her family, which is why this chapter is dedicated to her and her family.
I was a stage manager and general hand at a local theater while putting myself through college. I built sets, painted, helped with costumes and then took care of everything back stage for four years. It was interesting.
Same question.
