Great post! I've always loved writing and recently wrote a little bit about the inspiration my mother left me. There will always be much to develop, but with God's grace, I shall keep going...

I knew I was a writer when I wrote a poem about the sea casting her beautiful treasures on the shore when I was about 9 years old. My teacher loved it.

Too bad I don't have it still! My mom kept alot of my school things, but somehow that one got away!

Many of my writings are stored here (if you're interested!)

I knew I was a writer when I wrote and illustrated my first story in the 5th grade. A few of us were handpicked (had to stay inside for a writing class while the others got to go to recess) for a writing project by our teacher. We learned to write and illustrate our own stories. Then we took our completed "books" to the 2nd grade class and read them aloud to the children. The whole thing took many weeks and I have to say that it was my defining moment as a writer, hard as it might seem to imagine. Once the bug gets into your writing "soul", you can't seem to rid yourself of it.
