I started as a writer way back as a little girl, and I always knew it was something I wanted to do. My first story was about a horse girl named Mel, and it was... interesting to say the least.
When I was 14, I took a playwriting class, and it really did something for me. I learned that I could get into my characters minds, and it really really helped my process.
Then, I started writing fanfiction. I started slow, but picked up the pace until I started putting out several in rapid succession. That's when my fiance pointed out that I was a good writer (huh!) so I decided to try my hand at it!
