Mariia Manko asked Julia Kent:

Julia, when did you realize yourself as a writer? After writing first book, publishing , success or …? You know this feeling inside «I am truly a writer»

Julia Kent Hi Mariia - I think I realized I was a writer when I was 9, when I learned people did this for a living. My father was a career military officer, and my mother had been a librarian and teacher before staying home with her kids, and I was thrilled to learn people could write poetry, fiction, nonfiction and get paid to do it. People told me it wasn't possible to support yourself as a writer (everyone says that), but I eventually found a way. You can, too! <3 Julia
