I've been writing since Kindergarten. Even before I could write I would ask my mom to write what I said and I would draw the pictures. In 2nd grade my teacher would let us write plays and perform them for the class. My friends and I all decided that we would write a play together. We worked on it for what felt like forever! We wrote whenever we could, at recess, free time, and sometimes we would take turns taking home all of the scripts and writing them. We wrote about three pages and for a 2nd grader, that was a lot! However, when we performed it it took like 5 minutes. A few years later, my brother and I got into writing more plays, we had recently made up these little characters that we would use in all of our plays. They even had special voices which were hard for everyone except for us to do, and it seems weird that we are the only ones who can do it. 

                 I really enjoy writing fantasy stories, even when I was young. I remember in one grade (I don't remember which one it was) my teacher had writing folders and every day we would have writing time and everyone wrote their stories really short and fast, but I wanted to make a long one, I'm pretty sure it was about a flying bunny, but I felt like I was the only one who hadn't finished at least one. She didn't make us turn the writing in, but I felt like it was too long, so I threw it away (and I really regret that now.). 

           

                Most of my ideas either come from holidays and events coming up, things that I really like at the time, or other stories I have heard. Holidays are definitely my kind of thing. I once wrote about a baby that this boy knew and the baby was a baby genius and on Halloween he went to her house to visit her. She was carving the scariest most detailed pumpkin he had ever seen. The flying bunny one that I mentioned in the other paragraph was around Christmas time, the girl got the bunny for Christmas. When I was in 3rd grade I was really into Sonic the Hedgehog video games and so was my brother, and we started to make it into a play, but I don't think we finished it. I still enjoy writing so much, and I can't wait to finally start writing again!
