Hi Ruta, I am a 7th grader and I had a question for you. It has always been an interest of mine to have a little back story to authors loves so what did you want to be before becoming a writer and what age did you write a book that was more than at least 100 pages? My teacher and all my favorite authors inspire me and I have written a story that at least 130 pages and those are my reasons behind my questions.

Hi Maya!
I wanted to be a writer when I was very, very young. I wrote my first book in 3rd grade, but it was only 45 pages. The book was not very well received and I lost my courage to write for a while, so I pursued a career in music. I spent over twenty years in the music business, helping artists and musicians tell stories, through music. I didn't write a book that was 100 pages until I was 35 years old. So you are doing GREAT!! Keep writing! Wishing you all the best with your book and sending cheers and hugs from one writer to another. :)
