Hi!
I'll go first.
I started writing stories because I was lonely, and had no friends. This started in Elementary School. I wanted to be heard. So i'd write about myself, using very strong words like 'furious' and 'fuming' and 'revenge'. I was pretty depressed as a kid. Also, as I started to read more and more (sometimes four hours at a time without moving), I became better and better and better at writing. Even though I didn't write when I didn't have to (for school), I was always very good at it, because of the time I spent reading, and also observing and listening to the world around me, in the time that other people chose to speak or do something actually productive with their lives.
During middle school, I was pushed to write poetry and stories for my english class (my teacher was really, really great). But now, since my english class consists of mostly essays, I have to write my own stuff now, extracurricularly. Which has worked out pretty well.
please respond! Happy writing!
