Technically I wrote my first book when I was four for a friend, but I was young then and thought that writing a 20 page picture book was nothing. I first began to be truly interested when I started writing a full length novel at the age of ten
From the moment i could think the world was an epic quest set out before me, ready to be explored and acknowledged. The only thing holding me back was my ability to read and write. From 2-5 I had pushed and shoved my idea's my plans, my dreams at anyone who would care to raise an ear. From 6 onward I have been writing to some extent (I would probably have a book or something out, but I am always....forgetful...and easily distracted).

I started writing at the age of five. Throughout elementary school, I began to write lots of short stories. Let's just say I was kind of obsessed with it. In the span of one year, I wrote 85 short stories (this was in third grade.) I have still abandoned that genre, but due to personal events in my life, I have moved on to poetry. Long story short, I fell in love with it.
I wrote "Doggielocks and His Three Owners" at 7 (I was obsessed with dogs.) I started writing a chapter book version of that at 8, and a true "book" about cowboys at 10, known as "The Legend of the Appaloosa."

I basically only started writing when I was 14... so, like three years ago! XP But I've been creating stories since I can remember. I literally played with Barbies until I was 13... I'm not proud of that... ( It's RPG people, come on!)
But I craved story telling, and thankfully my best friend is a lot younger then me. Once she got "too old" for Bardies, I was forced to take up the pen. And thus, I had to learn quickly, how to write, so I could catch up with the people who were born with a typewriter in hand.
I remember when I was seven or eight I had to write a story about a made-up superhero. I don't remember the details, but I know I made mine about a dog instead of a person. He turned into a wolf at night.

I wrote my first "stories" at the age of about 6 or 7... they're embarrassing (and often hilarious) to look back on, but I consider that to be when I got interested in writing.
I got interested really young because our house is very pro-books and pro-reading. My Mum is an author so that kind of helped because I knew writers were people, and I wanted to do what my Mum did.
Now I do it more because I've fallen in love with it, but that's definitely how I started out. . .
Also, the first story I wrote was when I was five and it was called, "The Amazing Lucy".
Yeah.

Really,very recently I found my passion in writing! I always wrote in school because my teachers told me to but I didn't really like it because there were always prompts and essays that I had to specifically do. I still don't like writing for school. I am creative and have a big,colorful and boundless imagination and I love fantasy. So to answer your poll question, I was about 12 or 13 when I started writing. I started writing as an emotional outlet during tough times, then I would rip my sad writing into shreds and tear away at my anger. Now I write because of my quote in my signature. Look at my signature quote, the reason that I write.

My first story was when I was 5 and turned a family album of a trip to Ireland into a book. Since then I would write on occasion and go through short periods where I would be writing. But I didn't officially get back into writing until I was 14. Then a year later I found this place. Haven't stopped writing since.
