I wrote my first book when I was 9 or 10. I wrote many more books after that. I dreamed of getting my books published. I looked forward to every day I came up with a new story with different characters. I asked my parents to buy me different types of pens and pencils. I found it exciting and rewarding to sit at the table every day and create a story from my imagination.
I counted the pages of every book I wrote, and if they did not add up to 100 or more pages, I felt unhappy, so I made sure most of the stories I wrote were very long. I liked learning new words when I was a child, and found ways to add them to the stories I wrote.
One day, I took one of my books to school with me and the other kids were so fascinated by it, they passed it around...later I found out one of the girls in my class liked the book I wrote so much, she took it home and tried to keep it. I had to get my mom to get it back from her.
I actually enjoy writing on paper more than I do typing on a computer. I like to write in cursive. Currently, I enjoy poetry most of all, and am constantly looking for ways to improve it. Writing is something I cannot live without
