Why did you choose this profession? Did you just really enjoy reading books, so you wanted to recreate that? That was the moment that I realized, “Wait, this is going to be something I’m going to have to do and re-do.” I think the moment when you realize that you can do a ton of work, and it can still be no good, I think that’s when you realize that it will be a process, instead of just a flash of insight. I finished, looked at it and I thought, “It’s not good enough, I’ve got a long way to go from here, I’m going to have to study this, try hard.” I kind of thought it was going to be natural for me because I was such a huge reader. I wrote this book, and it was the first time I had ever come close to finishing a novel. I wanted to actually become an author and get started on the rest of my life that was the way I saw it.
I was really serious about it, and I really wanted it to get published. It took me until I was in college, and I was trying really hard to write a novel for the first time. I really loved that writing was more than just fun, that it was actually going to be some hard work. Did you realize it was harder than that? What made you persevere with it?
