A Lifelong Love of Words

 

I’ve loved reading for as long as I can remember—probably since kindergarten. I grew up in a family of book lovers, where reading and writing were always encouraged.

One of my earliest memories is sitting at my uncle’s electric typewriter, slipping in a clean sheet of paper, and feeling the thrill of seeing my words appear on the page. I wrote plenty of handwritten stories too, but there was something truly magical about the click-clack rhythm of that typewriter as the words flowed from my imagination.

Reading brought its own kind of magic. In the house where I grew up, there were always cozy corners and little nooks where I could curl up with a good book and disappear into another world for hours.

I’ve always loved the classics, but mysteries and thrillers have a special place in my heart, too.

How about you?

Are you a reader? What genres draw you in? Who’s your favorite author?

Or maybe you’re a writer—do you prefer handwriting your stories or typing them out?
