Interview with James T. Hogg

1-When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?  [I remember the moment.  My mother had told me no TV on weeknights.  This was a terrible injustice.  After railing – whining actually —about it for an hour or so, I embarked on an ambitious project of writing a novel.  And to my surprise I finished it.  It was 200 pages on a ‘typewriter’ and I was so proud of it.  I looked at it again a few years ago and it was good for a 17 year old I guess, but hardly a professional work.  After that I found creative writing fun.  Then I got a day job for about 40 years and didn’t really start writing again until a few years ago.  I was rusty at first but then it started to come back to me.]
