When I was growing up in the 1950s, sweaters were a huge thing.

Growing up in Paterson wasn't the easiest thing.

I was a huge fantasy geek growing up. I was the dungeon master in my D&D game.

In the pie chart of my brain growing up, there's a huge slice for 'Ghostbusters.'

When I was growing up, I dreamed about becoming a cowgirl, a detective, a spy, a great actress, or a ballerina. Not a dentist, like my father, or a homemaker, like my mother - and certainly not a writer, although I always loved to read.

I'm a huge candy fan. My favorite growing up was always Sour Belts or Sour Straws.
