When I read his book On Writing at age fifteen or so, it really put a lot of things into perspective for me. MGO: Who would you say influenced you the most to become a writer?Īlso, Stephen King. I can just picture it now-TV interview, camera focused on me peering out from behind an armchair at Katie Couric, the microphone picking up on a very tiny, “eep.” If I ever become a famous writer, this could potentially be a very bad thing. I'm really quite shy, and until I started college the idea of public speaking made me want to hide under a table. Especially one with a shiny gold foil that says nice things about me in Latin. And you know what? No harm came of it! (Take that, elementary school teachers!) I have a BA in psychology and graduated from my university with honors-which sounds more impressive than it is, since it turns out you can't actually do much with a BA in psychology. I'm 24-years-old, and still letting my imagination run away with me. Writing is basically for adults who never grew out of playing “let's pretend.” As a kid, I was a total whiz at coming up with “let's pretend” games. I don't think becoming a writer was ever really a conscious decision storytelling has always been an activity I enjoyed doing. What made you decide you wanted to be a writer? MGO: Tell us a little bit about yourself.
