Alyssa Perkins asked Laurie Halse Anderson:

How did you know you wanted to write? Lately I've been feeling the itch to and will spend hours writing down random bits that I'm not quite sure I'll ever pull together in book form. Did it start out like that for you?

Laurie Halse Anderson Absolutely! The trick is to be gentle with yourself. Just write... keep writing!! It takes a while, but you will eventually figure it all out.
