Well, Larry, I think it was a combination of things. I'd always been drawn to storytelling, even as a child. My grandmother used to tell me these incredible tales that transported me to another world. And as I grew older, I realized that storytelling wasn't just about entertainment, but about connection and understanding.

It wasn't easy, Larry. (pauses) But I think that's the thing – it's not always easy to share our stories, but it's often necessary. For me, writing was a way of exorcising my demons, of confronting the parts of myself that I'd rather ignore. It was a form of catharsis, really.

(pauses) It was... chaotic. I was trying to prepare as much as I could, boarding up windows, stocking up on supplies... but nothing can really prepare you for the sheer force of a Category 5 storm. The winds were so strong, it felt like the house was going to collapse. I was scared, Larry. I was scared for my family's safety.

One evening, my grandmother sat me down and told me a story about my great-grandfather's struggles during the war. It was a story I'd never heard before, and it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I felt seen, heard, and understood.
