Writing Question

When did you start writing stories?

For me, I started when I was 4-years-old (I know, impossible but I've been writing since as long as I could remember).

I can't remember, so I always say as long as I can remember :P But yeah, the earliest I'm certain of is when I was around 7 or 8, I wrote short stories about kids in haunted castles and racism and a poem my dad still loves about a cat who bathes every day.

I haven't kept writing consistently, sometimes I write a LOT and sometimes I write nothing, but still, I think that's when it started and I haven't stopped since :)

I've always been attracted to reading and one day I decided that I wanted to be one of the people who made people like reading as much as I did. I went through a lot of phases though before I began to actually "write", the first real memory of me attempting to write was probably seven or eight though.

When I was 12....I really enjoyed writing FanFiction for Mass Effect and then I started my own story which I have been writing for one year. I have been using a thesaurus to spruce up my vocabulary since it takes place back in the early 18oo's. I might actually try to get it published.....I had a frind of mine whose dad is a publisher and her dad said that with editing, and some other details I would have a good chance at getting published.

But I woke up one morning, in April, and a little voice in my head told me that I have to write:)))) So I started writing a novel. I'll soon finish it:D:D:D:D

well, as in writing as a hobby id have to say about 10, because i never actually thought of writing for anything bnut school work before then. i have always liked riting, but i didnt think i was verie good at it, until i got 100% in a creative writing test in year 5 about a girl who was abused and how she got over it and all ladeedaa. (it was about 7 A4 pages long, wich for me and evryone else bak then was like 1000 pages in a book)
then i started playing around in my window, pretending my reflection was another side of me, like smeegle in lord of the rings, tho id nevaah watched it. then i thort of going threw it into another world, were evrything was the opposite. (ino, crappy) and i started riting about it. i then took a break and rewrote everything. vampires came along, tho i was not inspired by twilight, i was in fact inspired by bram stoker's dracula. tho i thort of type one and two. (if i gave yu the whole description yud think omg thats exactly like twilight, but, believe me, its not BLECH, no offence twilighters.)its gonna be a trilogy and ive got a gret idea for the next one :D. ive now finished the novel and am going to send it off soon. wish me luck :D

When I was like seven or eight, I started by writing fanfiction for the book/TV series The Saddle Club because I loved those books. I've written off and on since then, and now writing is my one true passion. Although ever since I was very little, my mom and I have always made up stories, it's just that I didn't start writing them down until I was seven or eight. Now I actually carry around a folder with tons of different unfinished stories. I usually have bits and pieces jotted down on paper for many different stories, if those ideas are lucky they will become fanfics.

When I was around four or five I used to draw stick figures on post-its and staple them together and say a story along with it. As I got older I had my mom scribe my stories for me. When I was in school I wrote long, long stories for spelling assignments. Now I'm trying to be a novelist but I haven't been able to finish much.

I started writing when no one else was there for me. Words had it all, they sucked me in like books do. Writing is a peaceful thing to do, that is unless you have writers block. I have not finished one story yet, and I have about a million going, but this one that I am currently working on, I think is going to be "the one". Let's hope! :D

From what I remember, I think I was around 8. I wrote little stories (and even made books for myself, with my own writing and illustrations).

Then I moved on from the bookmaking to more like, a notebook with stories filled inside. Some of them have pictures, but most don't.

Then I moved onto writing on pad paper and stuff. I tried several stories by typing on the computer, but those don't really work. (Once there was this big electricity blackout. I was so pissed I stopped writing that story altogether)

Nowadays, I have this notebook where I have planning for my writing. I actually write on pad paper. ^^

Actually, I started writing the summer of (entering) 6th grade. My mother wouldn't let me go outside anymore, and I got bored quickly. So instead of complaining, I picked up a pencil and began to write a certain story that was in my head for about a week, I believe. Ever since then, I have been writing, and working on all my stories, consistently editing them.
Though I do need need a lot of help with my spelling still :)

blackpanther666 said:
I wrote plenty of 'stories', when I was younger, 6, 7, 8, 9... You get the drift, but they mostly made little sense, and my grammar was great for my age, but still terrible when I think back.

I started writing more seriously, when I was 16... I wrote a version of Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern series. (It was one where I made the storyline further on in the future, so I could create my own characters, rather than have to portray all of her characters, which were amazing.) Obviously, I couldn't do anything with it, except continue writing it, in order to enhance and manifest my skills.

After writing a couple of short stories, another Dragonriders one of my own and several theses, I wanted to write a book that I would be able to publish one day. Now I am currently writing it and hopefully I'll be able to finish it sooner, or later. (I'm pretty much an expert at procrastinating - I could have finished the book by now, but it would pretty average if I had, so instead I'll continue editing it and adding better dialogue and descriptive pieces.) This book is called, the Towers of Impenetrable Darkness, a fantasy, which I wanted to showcase the errors of humanity, the absence of cliche good against evil and the cruelty of politics. Its not quite there yet, only 130 pages so far, but I've put a lot of work into it, hence why it has taken a long time to write.
