Butler "Every story I create, creates me. I write to create myself." Octavia Butler was dealt the conditions of a lonely hand...her mother was able to carry only her to term, her brothers and sister died prematurely. Her father died when she was very young. She had mild dyslexia and was large for her age, growing to 6 foot. She was lonely, shy, and introverted. She began acquiring the writing habit when she was 10 to escape boredom. She picked up her interest in science fiction through watching those grade B movies we'd all like to forget. Her mind was curious and questing for knowledge. Somehow, working multiple odd jobs, she made it to college, earning an Associate Arts degree from Pasadena City College. In time she attended California State University (LA), the University of California (LA), and several writer workshops. It is fiction to say she overcame being a woman...in a field where half the writers are female...or being black...in a field where the majority writers/editors/publishers have always been Jewish and discrimination did not exist. It was slow going for her in the 70s because she was defining herself and learning to write. Her first novels were only marginally noticed in the beginning...the 4th and 5th
