How I learned to write

I’ll never forget my desire to learn how to write. Every night before I would fall asleep as a young child, my mother or father would read me a bedtime story. All throughout each story I remember looking at the pictures and feeling envious of the great authors who possessed the talent of writing these ingenious fairytales which match detailed pictures and graphics provided on every page supplementing the text. It was at this very young age of Kindergarten that I decided that I wanted to be a part of this writing community that captivated my thoughts and imagination every night before I went to sleep.
I distinctly remember beginning to tackle this endeavor by re-writing volumes of “BOB” books. I literally would copy the text word for word simply to practice writing. Eventually enough schooling provided me with me ability to write in a more formal context.
