1/22 What prompted you to begin writing?
Reading. Reading made me want to write. Greek and Roman myths, legends and stories from all over the world, Alice in Wonderland, Narnia, ghost stories, all of it. Before that, Mom reading to us kids, Mother Goose, Dr. Seuss, Winnie the Pooh. When I was five, I could hardly stand the wait for first grade, where I would learn to make letters, put them together and make words, put those together and express ideas.
Read to your kids.
