How It All Started

So I’m a writer, hence, the title of this new blog. I have been writing/telling stories since the first grade. I wasn't the most popular kid. I mean I was average on the popularity scale in elementary school, but I wasn't one of the “it” girls (yes it does start that early). But I hung out with the “it” girls, I guess I was a part of their group in a small way. They were all cute, peep-y shiny girls, with fancy clothes and glossy hair. I was the um, fluffier girl, so my fancy clothing options were limited. And I did NOT take care of my hair, much to the distress of my mother. So what did I bring to the group? I was the comic relief. Something new right, the fluffy kid being funny? Right? No not new, but I was also crazy dramatic. I made up crazy stories about my already crazy family. Taking an insane situation and taking it to the next next level. To the point where my mother would get calls from my teachers needing to confirm whether or not I had an evil twin sister (Ok my mom never got that call, but it was a story I made up and was able to keep going until the lunch/recess teacher found out and called me out on my bullshit.)

I used to get in trouble for lying, which I deserved, but the way I think of it now is that I was just practicing my story telling. I love writing. It took me a long time to figure out what I want to do with my life. But when I did, it was pretty obvious. I am a writer. That’s me.

I am using this blog to help me continue to write my manuscript, because headache inducing writer’s block, but I still itch to write. So between my manuscript and short stories, I will use this to help me to achieve my goals. I just need a place to go to vent and get through all my thoughts and I thought this would be a perfect place. So welcome to my head, I warn you it’s a tornado in there, so be careful!
