What inspired me to write my first book?

Journaling. This definitely was something I always focused on before I decided to start writing books.  I knew that this would help me not only to improve my writing but also to learn many new and exciting things about my writing. One day I was sitting about at my desk and I started reading through my high school journals. I thought about various books I had read about characters and other individuals high school experiences and thought hey why not create a character and write a book on this characters high school experience to teach and help other young girls and boys about their young high school experiences. Really I just wanted to tell a story through a character's eyes. However, this is what helped me to write and publish my very first book.
