Stephen Holgate
By reading. Ever since I was in grade school, I've sucked up books like a vacuum cleaner. By the time I was 9 I had ideas of becoming a writer, coming up with my own stories. I started my first one when I was in 4th Grade. I got all of about 200 words down. I think it petered out at that point because, at 9 years-old you only know about 200 words-worth of life.
