A couple things. For one, I've always had an active, perhaps even OVERactive, imagination, to the point where my parents and doctors thought I would completely detach from reality if this was left undealt with. Also, my father is a screenwriter, and because I looked up to him so much, I wanted to be a writer just like him. Though I don't have the same adoration for him that I did as a child, I still do want to be a published author one day.
What really made me began to write were the ideas I had thought up in my head. I wanted to put express my ideas on whatever I could find. I tried to draw a manga on it, but I suddenly found out that I wasn't good at it. That's when I wanted to write it. I was always better at writing than speaking, So I wrote my stories on paper.
I too am better at writing.
I was abused at home and at school and I couldn't talk to anyone about it...i had feelings and I didn't know what they were or that they were feelings...so I wrote poems and my pain came out in my school projects because my school photocopied one of them and called my parents. When my mental illnesses were in remission I stopped writing. It's only been recently I've begun again. Instead of a blade to take out my pain...I pick up a keyboard
