Rick Yancey on “What made you start writing?”

RiI’ve wanted to be a full-time writer since I was thirteen or fourteen (I wrote my first book-length manuscript at fifteen or so).  I had several excellent teachers and mentors in junior and high school, caring people who picked up on my passion and gave me great encouragement.  Writing gave me the same incredible, incomparable joy that reading did:  an entrance into another world, a world that was understandable to me and provided the magical escape that art so effortlessly does.
