29．閱讀短文，按照題目要求用英語回答問題。
I've been writing now for 34 years.It all started when I was just 18 years.As a boy growing up，I probably read hundreds of books.I read mysteries，science fiction，thrillers，and just about any other type of book I could find.I had a thirst for knowledge that never seemed to disappear，no matter how many books I read over the years.
Then suddenly，I found that I too had ideas of my own that I wanted to write and share.I wanted to share things that were full of goodness love，joy，and happiness.I tried to ignore my desire at first，but as any writer will tell you，once ideas awaken inside of you，they don't leave you alone until you write them down.I didn't have a computer，or even a typewriter，but I grabbed a pen and a notebook and wrote down everything that was burning inside of me.
When I was finally done，I didn't know how to share my work with the world.There was no internet back then，no smartphones，and no social media.However，I sought out（找到）the editor of my local newspaper and asked if he would like to print what I'd written He was a good man，full of both wisdom and kindness.He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write.
After that，of course，nothing could stop me.I continued to write new articles each week，which were published in different local papers and later on the internet.Years later I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form.
Through my writing，I slowly became a better person.
Writing allowed me to discover the goodness and light that exist in us all.I also found that we are all writers.whether we put pen to paper or not.
With every choice we make，with every thought we think，and with every action we take，we are writing our own life story.
