I wrote my first piece when I was about 6-years-old. It was about two pages long (keep in mind, very large handwriting), and titled "Mr. Penguin and Crocky". It was hilarious. Mr. Penguin was my brother's stuffed animal, and Crocky was my stuffed crocidile. They were best friends who went a toystore together. Yeah, I know. I was a genius.

It's funny, y'know, when you read the works you've written years and years ago. You think to yourself, 'what in the world was going through my head to write this?'

I was six years old. How terrible it is :lol: it was entitled:
"Mr Blombry and the Shopping trip"
Only I have works from every part of the day
"Mr Blombry and getting out of bed"
"Mr Blombry and eating breakfast"
"Mr Blombry and the shopping trip"
"Mr Blombry and out for lunch"
I guess you can tell where it goes from here. What can I say, all I've ever done is write XD

I think I've been writing for as long as I've known how to write. I don't know what my first story was but I do remember one I wrote in the first grade. It was awful, both in handwriting and story. I'm too embarrassed to say what it was about.

I started writing in the fifth grade when everyone would write half/one page stories and I'd end up with four + page stories. My very first story was about a set of twins who got seperated in the 9/11 attack but find each other in the end. Another one was about a boy and a time machine. I think it was about him going back and time and then his time machine breaks, so he meets another boy and in the end his sneaker gets him home? I'm not too sure. BUt it did get sent into my school board for evaluation.

I started writing at about eleven, co-writing with one of my friends who was moving. The story was about twin girls who live with four older sisters, and the twins find dragon eggs (heavily influenced by Eragon at this point), with their older sisters being the villains. No idea what the ending was (I don't think we had one even) but since then neither of us have stopped writing.

I didn't start writing seriously until one or two years ago, but I wrote my first story when I was about seven years old. It was a two page story about a girl who had a pony that got sick. The pony was magically cured of its disease after a mere day and the girl and the pony lived happily ever after. I have no idea where it went, which is a pity because I would have loved to read it again. I remember being so proud of it. :)

My first story was about a guy who makes a time machine and travels to the future to find the planet overun by robots, and then the robots turn him into a robot and he goes back and destryos the world.

Its was a whole page from grade 1.

But my first novel thingy was um, let's see, Yesterday.

At my school, they made us write. I never liked it until my friend - lets call her lemon(inside joke, I was lime)...but anyway - introduced me to HP fan fiction. It was horrible.

Through the course of two years my original character has gone through 9 name changes, about 20 titles, 3 personalities, 5 physical descriptions, and probably 35 plots...and I'm still working on it. Poor Kyra, she must have major identity crisis because of me.

I have it posted on here too - if you want to burn your eyes or something. But I've put it aside for now and picked up a few other stories. Like a Twilight fan fiction, and another HP fan fiction. I also have some storybooks I'm creating, and a lot of random plots, characters, blips, and titles so if you need some inspiration I got some for you.

Most of my ideas come at really random times...especially when I have no notebook on me :cry: . And they come pretty quickly. Sometimes I'll get about three characters or plots on a good day.

Jeez, I'm getting way off topic.

So yeah.
Writing once a day keeps the voices away, and I've created a blog all about it: Daily Dose.
...and I'm now trying to create a user group based on the idea! Tell me if you're interested!

Wow I just found one of my first stories. It was a journal type thing. I had bought some Star Wars Jedi journal thing off of Amazon when I was maybe 8 or 9. I wrote good yet I drew very, very badly.

I wrote a story about a black cat in kindergarten. I found it a few years ago, but I have no idea where I put it.

When I was 10 or 11, I was in a poetry phase. I had a whole notebook filled with little poems. After I got over that, I started with short stories. I could never finish anything. I think the first story I actually finished was finished in October of 2008. It wasn't very long ago, but I started a new story and I'm getting pretty obsessed with writing.

I was somewhere between five and seven. I have no idea what it was about, how long it was, or even if it was literate, but my parents still have it somewhere.

The first thing I remember writing was this little short story thing, and by short I mean short, when I was eleven. It was three pages long and the worst thing ever, but I loved it and I was so proud I had finished a story. I think the basic idea was four kids having to go through this series of challenges to get the prize at the end. And I remember that at the very very end there was a random kid named Skyler who presented them with whatever they got at the end of it and talked with a British accent. XD

I started writing seriously last summer, I would say. It's when I started putting myself into everything I wrote and began discovering my voice as a writer. Just from looking at what I wrote before the summer to recently, I think I've grown a lot. So last summer for me.

I started sometime in pre-k through kindergarten.
I forgot the name of my story but it was some treasureish, dogish, girlish thing.
I remember I spent one part going:
and looked, and looked, and looked, and looked, and looked, and looked, and looked, until she finally found it

haha I've always been writing...its scary though. I was cleaning my room (!?!?) and I found these old stories of mine....dated like 2001 (i was about 6) and its kinda freaky to see what I wrote. One was about "TinkWorld"...fairies and witches. And my vocabulary...I didn't know a 6 yr old knew some of the words I used. My illustrations are cool though. :D

Long live the ink pen.

Hm...that's a toughie. The earliest that I can really remember was something when I was in third grade, which was when I was *counts on fingers* seven. It was something about a bunch of toys that come to life and they have to find a wizard if they want to get back to their normal life. It's called 'The Night the Toys Came To Life'. Yep, total Wizard of Oz rip-off. My Creative writing teacher, there was an after-school club, decided to go and read it out loud.

In fourth grade, there was something where all of the class had to write a short story, and then we compiled it all into one big book. I even did illustrations. It was something about a retired explorer who's telling his grandkids about the adventures he went on. It was about five pages long, I think. I was pretty proud of that one. Also, we started on poetry there. I learned how to write a limerick, what was the difference between a cinquain and a haiku, and all that stuff.

Fifth grade was pretty much blank. School assignments for me.

Sixth grade, we had to make another story. I think it ended up being nine or ten pages long. It's about a girl who was a fairy and she had to save the world. Cliche, I know. That was probably the worst one I had ever written, not counting the third grade one. The worst part is that my teacher put it up for display. *Sigh*

Thankfully, I got better after that. I started seriously writing poetry in seventh grade, before switching back to prose. I occasionally spout out the random poem, but it's usually short stories from then on. I've entered a few writing competitions, and really, I've only gotten acknowledged on one of them. It was the VoicesNet poetry competition, where I was a two star finalist.

Well, I'm here now in eighth grade. I'm working on a novelette, maybe a novella. It's a sci-fi/fantasy mix, and it really isn't turning out that well. I'll still keep the file around, but there's this new idea that's been pulling at me. It's pretty much romance, which I can't write to save my life, so I'm in trouble. I've submitted a few stories and articles to magazines, but they haven't gotten back to me yet.

That's pretty much my whole writing history. Sorry if I bored anybody to death here. Anyway, I'm off to construct a universe. Bye!
There once was a cat.
He wasn’t particularly fat.
Fuzzy was his favorite mat.
And really, that was that.

Oh, but did you really think so?
Keep reading, it’s just the start of the show!
And as for how far this tale will go…
Well, even the cat doesn’t know.
