Telling stories is how we let other people know how we experience the world. Here’s my take: So we know we’re not alone. Why is storytelling so important for all of us? I think all of that blended well with writing fiction but the defining moment was a slow progression rather than an epiphany. So, a long way of saying that for me writing was always simmering on the backburner but I kept getting distracted by other shiny objects. Later, I went back to school and got an MFA degree in creative writing. Then I went on to major in English in college but then I ended up in another band, this time in Los Angeles. Anyway, at some point I started writing short stories. I definitely loved books the whole time (I was really into sci-fi in middle school and then later branched out). Then it was music and I learned to play guitar (later, I played in bands and fronted some as the singer-songwriter). Then I wanted to make movies and used to make these claymation deals that took days to create (projects lost to the world, but I suspect the world will get on fine without them). Instead, I was kind of a creative dabbler. Was there a defining moment during your youth when you realized you wanted to be a writer?
