Yup. I used to write a lot in high school/college, but stupidly gave it up when I got a rejection letter. I took it back up when my youngest son declared that he was writing a book. Incidentally, he not only was my "alpha reader", but has an illustration in my book. He's also recently bought himself a Chromebook using saved birthday/Chanukah money so he can better write his stories. He's really a chip off the old block story-writing-wise - he'll often complain that he has too many ideas for stories and not enough time to write them. I know the feeling.
