Why Did I Start Writing?

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.
