I always wanted to be a writer. I originally wanted to write novels, and I would still like to write a novel. Thatd be a dream. When I first moved to Los Angeles as a kid, it was because my dad became a TV writer. Then when he explained to me the process, I immediately was like, Thats exactly what I want to do. Sitting in a room with other writers, just talking about the story, sounds like so much fun. I couldnt believe that was a job. Around middle school, I was having a hard time with friends, then at the same time, falling in love with a lot of TV shows like Greys Anatomy and Lost. I think those shows helped me in my personal life, but I also fell in love with everything about TV: how you can follow a whole group of characters across years of your life. You literally grow up with them, and I love that format so much.
