I was such an avid reader as a kid

I would often get caught reading my fiction books in class when I was supposed to be doing school work. After so many times being caught, the teachers would call my mom, who would then ground me...from reading. 😩

It was so miserable for me!! To have my precious books taken away, even for a week or two, was torture.😞

One good thing it did for me- it caused me to start writing. My grandmother had replaced her electric typewriter with a computer (this was the 80s, people) and gave me the typewriter. I spent the entire summer of 1988 typing stories in my room.

I want to get back into writing. 🤔
