What caused you to start writing?
I started because I needed somewhere to escape to.

Copied and pasted from the guild: When I was in gradeschool, I would always read at every chance I got, and when we had assignments, I would write more than we had to. I though to myself, "Hey, this is fun. I think I'll start doing this more often." I wanna be a slipping butty and slip forever... But I think my muse's diary probably goes more in-depth than that into the beginnings of my writing. . .

See, that's why I feel like I'm a worse writer than everyone else: I never really loved writing from the beginning or anything.
One day in seventh grade, I just...started to write. I came out with a dumb story about an abused girl and her brothers, but still, that was the start of it. I have no idea why I even started to do it, but I'm glad I did. Shortly after that I wrote my first fantasy story ever (which I've now lost, unfortunately.)

I didn't either, jay. In the beginning I just read a whole lot and one day I just started to write something that other people might be like to read.

And jade, that was one awesome story! Bad news, my room is EMPTY at the old house. No Powers 1 ANYWHERE. I am depressed.
Anyway, I used to hate writing with my very being. (don't feel odd jade, I feel odd...) Mainly cause my writing sucked and my teachers always lectured me in front of everybody. Which embarrassed me beyond belief. But I oddly always was creating stories for my own little world. In fifth grade, we began to study Genras (sp?) and we had to write a story on a topic. I began to not mind writing. I even wrote my own mini hp fanfic. tried to start with the title and chapter names. Never got far. Gave up on writing it. 6th grade my friend moved. became friends with Emma, who got me closer to Deb who brought in jade and I kinda brought in KC. Jade and I both kinda started in 7th grade. I started with a Realistic fiction series. (gave up on that too. Major wrtes block on the fourth story) And now, I'm here.

I started writing a diary at age 4, and by the time I was 5 I was bored of writing about my life, so I starting writing stories. I guess what REALLY got me started was when I was 8 or 9, and I wrote a short story for an English assignment. I was excited. Lol.

I don't even remember when I started. I remember writing before I actually knew how to form the letters. I remember a story about my kindergarten teacher when I was five. I remember writing a story about this girl who lost a unicorn with I was seven. I remember writing a story about my lost doll when I was nine. I remember writing a super long story that I actually managed to type into the computer about a girl that could turn into a dragon when I was twelve. That was all my early (and sufficently terrible) stuff. But I don't remember when I started.

When I was little I liked to just sorta write bout anything (it was all terrible, apart from my poems, they were so so) and I always got praise for it but then wen I was bout 11 I think I got moved down cos I changed schools and that teacher really and I mean REALLY hated me (theres a massive story with this but it doesnt matter) so I gave up. It took me another 4 years to realise that I liked writing and could write something that I could acctualy b proud of (my prelim for english bout 6 months ago). Yea, I started late.
