I say "meem."

When I look back at old stories I cringe at how childish they are, considering I was probably in my early 30s when I discovered fanfics and started writing lol. I like to think I've matured a bit now :)
RokofAges75:
I'm sure our old stories all have that "beginner" quality to them, regardless of how old we were when we started writing. And I still write childish stuff sometimes, like my pandaskunk stories - but that can be fun!
RokofAges75:
Came across this Reddit thread that claimed, "Every writer's first draft of their first every written piece started with something Running late, or speeding, or just going somewhere quick. What's your Story?"
I was like, "Not mine!" and then immediately went to look. In fact, my first (and only) draft of my first fanfic DOES start with Kevin and Howie telling Brian to hurry up so they can get to rehearsal on time. That's after the even more cliched beginning of main character Brian waking up. Also, he's in his water bed, which made me laugh because I just watched that Frank Skinner interview from 2005 when they were making fun of his water bed a couple weeks ago LOL. http://www.dreamers-sanctuary.com/vault/heartache1.html
In other words, I am (or was) a walking cliche.
Anyone else start their first story this way? I didn't even realize this was a thing.
Carter-Orange:
LOL yes I think my first ever story had the main character rushing as she was going to be late for work. I didn't realise it was a thing either.
