I’ve been a big reader ever since I was little, and I think on some level I’ve always wanted to write. I started actually writing stories in college, which was a lot of fun. But as much as I wanted to write a book, I would always get to this point twenty or thirty pages into it where the story would abruptly end. So I wrote a lot of short stories, and one day, I wrote a little fairy tale that just kept going—it was fifty pages, then a hundred, and so on. I was so scared to tell anyone that I was writing a book because I was afraid that the minute I said it out loud, the story would be over! But I finished it, and I’ve been writing books ever since.
