We didn't have writing competitions or anything like that when I was in school, and I would've been too shy to take part even if we had.

Julie, I'm going to read that story :)

LMAO at Rose killing off the characters even as a child! 

When I was in school I loved to write, but when I left school I didn't write another story until I discovered fanfics in 2007.

LOL Steph, it's good to start young right? I was looking through my old stuff, and I found the one I "published" in third grade too lmfao. Twin sisters (typical), who have evil grandparents who were witches. They ran away, and one ends up killed by the witches before their parents find them. I'm cracking up. I was an evil writer even as a child.

Thanks Steph! LOL

My third grade Young Authors story was about three kids whose parents get eaten by a grizzly bear while they're camping and leave them lost in the woods with the man-eating grizzly bears.  That one didn't win.  It was a pretty epic survival story (LOL), but my third grade teacher probably thought it was too violent or something.  I hated my third grade teacher.  Still, I think you've got me beat, Rose!

I was reading another of my old school books last night and found a story where I had my characters in a cannibal infested jungle and they had to escape! One got eaten, lol.

I had a horrible teacher when I was about 10.  She was such an old fashioned old hag and used to tell me off for writing left handed! There are also comments she's written in my books to say I had a strange imagination, hehehe.

Yay cannibalism!!

That's exactly how my teacher was, although she didn't tell me off for writing left-handed.  Are you a leftie, too?!  I should have known - creative people tend to be left-handed. ;)  LOL

I am a righty so that disproves the theory. Me and my army of Nick clones disagree.

Yes, all you lefties are weird! LMAO. Ignoring the fact I'm a zombie-lover who makes very inappropriate jokes about angsty subjects :P

We're not weird; we're gifted! ;)

Though I did read that lefties also have a higher incidence of schizophrenia LOL.  So maybe we're a little crazy too!

I'm ambidextrous, so what does that mean for my personality? lol
