![]() The big question always asked to famous writers is always “How did you start writing?” For me I started writing when I turned 10. I was often teased a lot by the other children, so I really had no one to share my thoughts with. I was often the child that stayed inside during the summer. So I often turned to a piece of paper or a journal. I would often just write how I felt about something or feelings I knew no one would understand. I often hid these works from everyone. Until I was in 8th grade no one really noticed that I had a talent for writing. That was the year I won my first writing award, the “Arta Dodge Award” given to the student that had the most exceptional writing skills. After this I started to watch anime and read manga, and that really inspired many new pieces I worked on. I had been watching an anime called “Ouran High School Host Club.” I watched this continuously until I finished it, though when I did I found that I really didn’t like the ending. So I decided to write an alternative ending to the show, which led to me writing more endings, or second series to the shows I watched. So in the end result I really started to write more anime/manga style. While I was writing this way I found that I could really make my writing more in depth if I had the characters in front of me. Well I found that our printer had no ink in it, so I had to sit down pause the Netflix on our Wii system and actually draw these characters. When I finished I really didn’t think much of the drawings until my mother said something to me. She had told me that the characters I had been drawing were above and beyond what is expected of someone my age. I then started drawing manga strips and new characters, which really enhanced my writing. Now that I’ve gotten how I started writing out of the way I might as well tell you a little about myself. I am 14 years old, though I read, write, and watch things that a 13 year old probable has no business in even seeing. I am very mature for my age and has probable been through more than any other child I know. Yes, I know that I am a child, though I really don’t act or think like one. My mother always says that I’m like a little grown up. I am responsible for almost everything that has to be done in my house. I clean, cook, make sure that my mother pays the bills, watches my siblings, takes care of the animals, and on top of all that, school work. So yeah, my plates pretty full for a 14 year old. Though I always find time to write no matter how busy I am. I really like to spend some time alone though I normally don’t get it much. So when I am alone I consider it a blessing. I often need time to collect my thoughts at the end of the day, and if I were unable to I’d probably go crazy. My favorite color is when sunlight goes through a stain glass window early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when all the colors in the window mix together and a beam of those mixed colors shoot down from the window. For some reason that always calms me down. My favorite food is lasagna and my favorite dessert is a vanilla ice-cream cone. That’s basically all that’s about me. |
