It's funny... I didn't start off wanting to be a writer. I wrote out of the desire to write something that no one else has written... or that I couldn't find... that I thought was a good story. I sort of "needed" to get it out. It was a creative outlet, like my illustration, and it was satisfying when it worked out.
Then, I discovered my writing was better than my illustration, and that encouraged me to keep it up.
I wrote my first novel about 15 years ago. I did not start trying to sell them until last year, partially, because I was having more fun writing than going through the publishing grinder!
The hard part, as always, is setting aside the time to do it. But if you really need to write, somehow, you find the time.
