When and why did you begin writing? I began writing when I was very young. It’s hard to remember exactly when, but I must have been about 5 or 6 years old and it was often cartoons. I started writing songs when I was about 8 and then poetry and nonfiction in my early twenties.…

J. Guenther, Author of In the Mouth of the Lion
When and why did you begin writing? After high school, several friends attended colleges far away. I began typing six to twelve-page notes, trying to amuse them with letters like I’d want to get myself. It was a lot of fun, a feeling I try to put into my writing.
