I knew I wanted to be a writer before I knew that being a writer was possible.
It was a romantic dream to be a writer. It seemed like a calling.
My mom was dying for me to write a book, she was my biggest advocate.
My whole life, I've wanted to be a novelist.
I had this dream to become a writer since I was a teenager.
Like most new writers, I could only hope that one day one publisher might agree to publish one of my books; I couldn't imagine several publishers all wanting to buy the first book I'd written.
I loved to read when I was a kid, and as soon as I realized that an actual person got to make up the books I loved so much, I decided that that was the job for me.
My parents were horrified when I told them I wanted to be an author.
All my favorite books and movies are franchises like 'Harry Potter' and 'Lord of the Rings,' so that was always the dream, that maybe I'll get to write a series of my own.
I've always wanted to write a novel. It's overwhelming and daunting, and it's one of those things that every writer fantasizes about doing.
