No, I decided I wanted to write when I was about 3 years old. My Aunt used to stand me up by the window and have me dictate poems by looking out the window, and write poems about the stars, moon, or sky or whatever. She kept a lot of them. I don’t know whether a hand can be put on them now. They might be in the Special Collections at Long Beach State where they have the Locklin archive.
So I always thought of myself as being a writer. Practically every time I read a book or saw a movie, it reinforced that desire to be a writer. But I always thought of myself as someone who was going to be a writer. I always thought I would combine it with something else, probably, like being a football coach or basketball. Actually, Bambi influenced me because I wanted to become a writer and give all stories happy endings. But of course I don’t. |
