I never had any childhood reading or writing champions, but you know how it is as a writer—it’s in you and you can’t escape it. I loved to go to the library and pile up my backpack with books. They represented new friends, new adventures, and I spent most Saturdays plunked down in the middle of the library, turning pages. I started writing when I was fourteen—wrote my first novel on a summer vacation with my family, about a girl and her horse.
[Tweet “Were you bitten by the #writing bug when you were a kid? @SusanMayWarren”]It wasn’t until I married and began writing newsletters for our ministry that people began to really encourage me to write, but by then, I had the bug and was already penning novels I never thought would be published. However, it was our supporters who pushed me to send the novels in to publishers. They believed in my books on the shelves long before I did. I wrote four novels before I got the first one published. I’m still amazed at the fact I am published—what? Whoa!
