When I was growing up, my brother and I shared a room until I was 16 years old. It was like having a sleepover almost every night. Far too often, we would tell stories to each other late into the night. Most of the time we would tell Choose-Your-Own adventure style stories where the other got to make choices that affected the narrative. It was our own little version of D&D.
The first story I ever wrote was a school assignment called "The Flobbit." Terrible. I know. But I had just finished reading The Hobbit, and it was one of the first books I actually finished when I was growing up. I learned later that reading was so difficult because I needed glasses. But that book changed the game for me. I finally realized that it was worth it to read all the way through stories, even if it was difficult at the time.
