There werent any astronauts until I was about 10. Yuri Gagarin went into space right around my 10th birthday. – John L. Phillips
The turning point was when I hit my 30th birthday. I thought, if really want to write, its time to start. I picked up the book How to Write a Novel in 90 Days. The author said to just write three pages a day, and I figured, I can do this. I never got past Page 3 of that book. – James Rollins
