I was born in Los Angeles, California. As a child, I would ask my neighbours, "Do you want to know what h 1 in my house last night?" Then I'd like to t 2 them all my family secrets! I believe those s 3 were the beginning of my writing career(生涯)!
Then I went to college and studied English. After l 4 college, I taught at a high school f 5 half a year. I was a terrible teacher. I had no control over my students. So I g 6 up the job and got a new one—writing educational books for children.
My writing partner was Steve Mooser. Neither of us had ever written for children, s 7 we decided to learn more about it by going to meetings of children's book writers. We couldn't find one, so we held one ourselves, setting up the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators(SCBWI). We welcomed anyone who showed an interest in children's books.
Today, the SCBWI is one of the l 8 organizations for writers and illustrators with more than 22, 000 members! They love children and they are creative. Those are my favourite kind of people.
I've written a lot of books for young people. I love my work. Every day, I am thankful that I became a f 9 writer. I will try my best to be more c 10 than before and live in the world of children's books.
