I started writing because my wife had twins. It may sound crazy to start a writing career when life got exponentially crazy, but one evening when I complained about how long the bedtime routine took, my wife suggested that I use the time to write in my head. Even though I had, and have, very limited time to sit at the computer and write, I have a lot of opportunity to plot out and imagine where my current project is going. It's been a life saver to have one place where I am in complete control of the chaos.
