When did you get interested in writing?

Comment:

my class in Ohio just finished reading this book!I loved it so much! One of my favorite parts is when Marty and his family got to keep Shiloh,but the very interesting part was when Shiloh ran to Marty and,also when Marty built Shiloh his own pen so he could sleep in.The very exciting part was when Marty and his friend and his family found out that Shiloh was okay.I have two questions one is,how did you get interested in writing? Also why did you name this book Shiloh?

I’ve been interested in writing stories as far back as I can remember.  Before I learned to write or print, a teacher wrote down the stories that I told her.
