From Wikipedia’s article on Ray Bradbury:

He attributes his lifelong habit of writing every day, with no known exceptions since he was 12 years old, to an incident in 1932 when a carnival entertainer, Mr. Electrico, touched him with an electrified sword, made his hair stand on end, and shouted, “Live forever!”

…so far, so good. Cf the prophet Isaiah.

The whole story is on Bradbury’s website.
