When did you know that you wanted to be a writer? RW: All through primary school, had you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said, “A teacher/archaeologist/journalist [that changed over the years] and to write novels.” Eventually I realized the other stuff was just something to tell guidance counselors—the only thing I really wanted to do was write novels. =) (I was blessed to find a husband who encouraged this and supported...
