However, he did not have the discipline to hone his artistic abilities. For a time, the author hoped to become a comic book artist. Lynch wrote a page and a half before he gave up. He was a pre-teen when he attempted to pen his first novel. Lynch was quite young when he decided that he wanted to write fiction. She was still in his life when Lynch wrote his first novel. Lynch credited Jenny for standing by him for several years, not only reading his stories but providing the constructive criticism he needed.

He experimented with several jobs before he published his first novel.
