Hi, Landon,

Thanks for posting. I’ll try to answer your questions.

1. Before I became a writer, I wanted to be an astronaut or some kind of scientist or mathematician. Remember, I wrote my first book at age 12, so I was pretty young before I became a writer.

2. I’m not quite sure what you mean about being an “officer.” That’s one thing I’m pretty certain I’m not. Explain?

3. I think you mean did anyone tell me when I started out that I couldn’t be a writer. Well, I was 14 when my first book finally came out, and I made up my mind that writing was going to be my career. My Mom and Dad were kind of worried that my first book might have been just a lucky break, and they worried about what would happen if I could never write another one.  Well, with #100 coming up fast, I guess they’ve stopped worrying. Yes, they worried, but they never tried to stop me.

OK? If you want to explain question #2, or if there’s anything else, you know where to find me — right here!
