I didn't start out to be a writer. I messed around with stories in school, teased my friends with snippets of humor bits like I was trying out new material for open mic night at Fat City teen nightclub in Medford, Oregon and then got all serious about college. Broadcasting and eventually archaeology and history won out over any fleeting thoughts of novels and I was lost to rolling around in the soil and meeting fascinating people who thought like I did -- 1,000 years in the past. Fast forward twenty-three years and I'm out of the dirt writing full-time about zombies and ghosts, apparently I can't get away from the dead things. ;)
What did you do before writing or were you always in the groove? If not a writer, what did the 20-year-old you set out to do?
Cute picture!
ReplyDeleteI've always been a writer and designer. Some days one leads the charge while the other falls behind, then they switch roles. But they've both always been there.
It's always been writing, although I thought I would find my fortune as a poet. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI think I can help with that, Ms. Bartlett. ;)
