When I started a business (around my patented product for high-end wall coverings) I did a lot of traveling, domestic and international. A lot of time in airports, airplanes, hotels and restaurants. Since I wasn't a carouser, I began reading novels to make the time bearable. And loved them. After reading maybe a thousand or so, and having demonstrated my creativeness through marketing pieces for my business, I wondered why I couldn't write. With my business sold, I had the time.
