All of the authors who are a part of Indie Fall Fest were given the option to answer a question for Sunday Brunch. Here are their answers.
At what age did you realize that you wanted to pursue
writing?
I've been making
up stories since I was a toddler, but I only started thinking about publishing
my work in my late 20s.
Bridie Hall
29
T.A. Uner
I was 12 when I started writing
novels but I didn't consider having a novel published until I was of
college-age. I met Nicholas Sparks at a book reading and was completely
intrigued by his writing and his story of how he got started. That's when the
seed was planted!

Erin Albert Rhew
22. I published my first short story in my college journal
and was hooked.
Cynthia
Witherspoon
I started writing at a young age and
just kept writing little things throughout college. I was always keeping
journals. And then I started enrolling in creative writing classes. I didn't
consciously think about pursuing it in a real way until sometime when I was
getting my MFA in Creative Writing. It was just always the thing I had -- I
always loved that freedom of expression and rush that came with creating
something on my own. I loved the power of words and how language can bend and
be shaped to take on new meanings. I still love that.
Tasha
Cotter
I've wanted to write for as long as
I can remember. I decided to make writing my career two years ago.
Shane
Morgan
Well into my 50's.
Ann
Everett
Always! Writing has been my thing
fo-evah... however, I really never really took the notion seriously until
publishing my father-in-law's biography back in 2009. Then I went nuts.
Heather
Letto
32 - I never really thought I could
write and some days I'm still not sure I can!
Stacey
Mosteller
I've probably always known, but I
had to get over being scared before I could pursue it. Once you stop worrying
what other people think, you can do anything!
Amy
Bartelloni
It's always been something I've
liked as I grew up, but it was about the 9th grade when I realized that it was
something I could see myself doing as a career.
A.G.
Porter
22
Sarah
Darlington
I was very young, maybe seven. I
didn't start writing stories until decades later.
Chess
Desalls
When I was a wee little thing and I
learned how much I loved words. But I think it was really solidified when I saw
Dead Poets Society around the age of ten. The passion for words and creativity
really spoke to me.
Sarah
Buhl
Late 20's early 30's
Mary
Waibel
6 years old - I wrote my first
stories in crayon, stapled, them, made covers out of construction paper, then
distributed them to friends and family.
James
D. Horton

Joy
Penny
I've always created stories in my
head, then tried to write them down and been so disappointed in the results. I
started my middle age crazies around age 48 and decided to try and write from
my gut, not caring what others would think, and it was so much better! I'm a
late bloomer, but I just wasn't strong enough to really put myself out there
until now.
Karen
Gordon
27
Whitney
Barbetti
Hahaha it was only a few years ago
that I realized that I wanted to take writing from a hobby to a career and
finally started to seriously write and work towards being published.
Kristen
Hope Mazzola
I’ve always enjoyed both movies and
storytelling, so I started writing screenplays then switched to novels four
years ago.
J.
Nathan

K.G.
McAbee
I've always been a storyteller, but
it wasn't until I was 24 (which was last year) that I seriously begin to pursue
writing.
K.B.
Nelson
42
Crystal
Perkins
I'm pretty sure I was still a fetus.
Tiana
Warner
I've always wanted to be a writer as
far back as I can remember. I think I wrote my first book with illustrations
around seven or eight. I wrote a short story for my English GCSE when I was 15
and knew that if I was ever going to have a story published, it would be that
one. 13 years later, my debut novel Secret Lies was published by Bold Strokes
Books. The basis came from that short story.
Amy
Dunne
Elementary school.
Zané
Sachs
When I was in middle school. I would
go on family vacations and spend hours upon hours indoors escaping into my own
fantasy worlds.
Kira Adams
I can't remember not wanting to
write!
Rue
In middle school (around 13), I
started to enjoy creating my own stories.
Heather
Topham Wood
I've been writing since I'm a teen!
Thought I might want to be an actress for a bit, but quickly realized I was too
much of an introvert for that!
Claudia
Brevis
Professionally? Mid-thirties. Always
used it as a tool though, funny letters to friends, emotional goodbyes to colleagues,
etc.
Kai
Strand
I've always been a reader, which I
think is a pre-requisite for anyone who loves to write--but I didn't decide to
commit to spending some years truly focused on my writing until I was 23. I
wrote THE SIX DAYS before that and it helped me realized that it was something
I could do, if I wanted to.
