Yes, I started writing in elementary school. I would author short stories and I realized I was good at it. I remember winning the classroom spelling bee and being able to speak at graduation.

What is hardest – getting published, writing, or marketing?
I would say in this age of technology, all of them have been made easier to do. I took the self-help publishing route. Which I suggest is the best way to go. Writing can be tiring and sometimes feel unmotivated. I struggled with procrastination but once I started it flowed. The marketing may have been the hardest if an audience is not already established.
