Honestly, I don't know how I started writing. I've been doing it for so long and since I was so young that the memory of making the decision to start doing it isn't even a memory anymore. Up until I was about 10 or 11, I didn't do it very often, but I always had notebooks with me and when I Was in fourth grade, I wrote a series of plays about a girl named Mya who goes into the Enchanted Forest and has adventures with a unicorn and a dragon and a fairy. They were really stupid, as cute as they sound. I think maybe I started because I read so much as a kid (still do, actually) and wanted to make up my own stories, better than the ones I read in books because I could actually control them. I used to write some freaky things when I was little, I don't know why. I think I wanted to shock people

Hmm, do you think your age has anything to do with your longing for writing YA novels? I don't wanna assume anything, but since you said you wanted to write for that genre in 8th grade and all, I was just wondering if you think that'd change in the future.
I often think about that, since I kinda correlate fp with teenage writers since the majority of the stories are high school based and all, and sometimes when I notice a writer going 'dead' I wonder if it's because they just don't have time anymore or they just 'grew' out of it. Not that I think that's gonna happen to you- you sound very passionate about writing. :D
I think it might have something to do with my age, but I've always been fascinated YA novels in general, even when I was too young to really be reading them. My preference might change, but I know I want to write fiction, probably romance, at the very lease. You never know where the road will take you, lol.
Yeah, FP is totally teenager-land. I've been on there since I was twelve, on and off mostly, but I never stopped writing even when I didn't post stuff on FP. Sometimes people just don't like posting their stuff online anymore, revealing it to public eyes. I've personally gone through stages like that, but now that I really want critiques and such (and I'll admit, I do like the fact that most people leave generally positive reviews, although it's pretty disappointing how little critiques they leave), I started posting on FP on a regular basis. Hopefully I won't grow out of it; I don't know what I'd do!
