I've been writing since the third grade, when Mrs. Tillotson made us write a short story for a student writers' contest. I won. (With a title like "The Missing Cat," how could I lose?) Writing is hard and frustrating and I don't do it well, but it is what I do. Some foolish people have been known to pay me for it, which is sweet, but unfortunately, rare.
