Well, like many others here, I started with reading. I just love reading (stil now)! When I discovered the love stories in Nifty and elsewhere, I just became a fan. Then, I thought 'Why not a story by me?'. At first I laughed at the idea but slowly I started making plots in my head and before I was even aware, I got a story in my head. That's how I started. But even today, I read more than I write.
A person that sort of encouraged to write is Ryan Keith, the writer of Kayden series. Like him, I'm a science student and I had thought that I can't write a story. But when he said that he was an engineering student, I said 'Whoa!'.
That's it!
