When a writer is asked about how they started writing, the answers are varied. However, if one really thinks about it, all writers start their journey at a very young age. In school, we all have those creative writing assignments, even if we dread them.
Recently, I was challenged to find a piece of writing from those early years. Here is just one of the gems that I found which dates back to 1989, when I was in 3rd Form (8th Grade for those of you in the US). I resisted the urge to edit this piece (and it wasn't easy), but even in its raw state, it still made me giggle.
