    How old were you when you started writing?

    Hoo boy! I’m not entirely sure, I feel like I’ve been writing my whole life. When I was probably seven, I wrote a little story about a horse that was stolen and then got away and ran back home to his owners. I still have the little book that I stapled together. 😄 From there it just kinda exploded. I’ve always been writing. 😃

    Do you want to pursue a career in writing, or do you write just for fun?

    I’m not quite sure. At the moment I’m pursuing acting as my career, but I want to keep writing on the side, and I would definitely like to see some of my stories published! But even if that never happens, I think I’ll always be writing for fun and for myself.

    What are some of your biggest spiritual struggles when it comes to writing?

    I tend to worry that I’m not writing enough, and then I feel ashamed at how little I’ve written compared to the rest of you. On top of that, writing comes slowly to me, and I really stress out when I can’t think how to get through a part. I deal with it by trying to set manageable goals. Just write a little everyday, and be excited about it. 😀 I think it will get easier the more I get into the habit.
