I was also an early writer, and when I began to write, at about the age of seven, stories in pencil with crayon illustrations that my poor mother was obligated to read, I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading: All my characters were white and blue-eyed, they played in the snow, they ate apples, and they talked a lot about the weather, how lovely it was that the sun had come out.
También fui una escritora precoz. Cuando comencé a escribir, a los siete años, cuentos a lápiz con ilustraciones de crayón, que mi pobre madre tenía que leer, escribí el mismo tipo de historias que leía. Todos mis personajes eran blancos y de ojos azules, que jugaban en la nieve, comían manzanas y hablaban mucho del clima, qué lindo era cuando el sol había salido.
