When I was a little girl I was always creating stories in my head. I always had scenes with characters playing on the "movie screen" of my mind. Is it any wonder that it took me a while to go to sleep at night?
When I was growing up I often went over to my maternal grandmother's house. She had a card game called "Authors". We played that game a lot along with some other games that she had.
Then something happened one afternoon around 1970. I was about 9-years-old. Grandma and I had been playing "Authors". I think she had to go outside to move the water sprinklers. I was standing alone in the middle of her living room.
All of a sudden I exclaimed, "I know! Why don't I become an author!?!"
I've been writing every since.
