As a small child, my "library" consisted of a handful of picture books I barely even remember anymore. No surprise, really, as I didn't actually learn to read until I was roughly nine years old. It wasn't until the second grade that I learned the simple, but profound, fact that letters represented sounds, or that you could combine those letters and sounds to make individual words. Third grade taught me that combinations of words made sentences, sentences made statements, and statements represented ideas. This revelation compelled my nine year old self to reexamine my old picture books, but by then they were already insufficient. With no literature for older kids available to me, or even "young adult" stories as a step up in my growth, I made the leap to my parents' modest selection of science fiction and fantasy novels. It was hard, but rewarding: the reading bug had bit me, and I never looked back. Now I'm looking to take the next step, and write stories of my own.
