We all started writing at some point. When did your dreams to be a Writer/Author start, and why did you persue them? What is it about writing that encourages you to keep at it, and how have you progressed along the way?

I was always interested in reading. Soon, I was interested in writing my own stories. I started probably seven or eight years ago, and since then I've continued the hobby.

I think my first novel was on a 2000 palm pilot. o.O It was...about 350 words long. XD Now I've written novels that are 100 times that length. XD

You beat me there! My first novel was a whopper at under 80 words.

Is stuff like that -- including the thing I wrote -- even writing?

I started writing years and years ago. 
My first story was maybe 8 pages long when my mom typed it up for me.
I just love writing so much that I just can't stop and I don't think I ever will.

I'm noticing a pattern - most of our writers started a young age. Somebody should start a poll.

My writer's imagination was sparked when we lived in Germany when I was 4-5 years old. I started writing poems and stories when I was 6 or 7 and haven't really stopped since!

I'm not quite sure how it started. I've always loved books. The first story I wrote was about my favourite toy, Bob Cratchet (Mickey Mouse dressed up as Bob Cratchet from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Charol). It wasn't much of a story, but it was a start
