When I was in Elementary School I always built things with legos, I’d play videogames like "The Elderscrolls: Oblivion" and the various "Legend of Zelda" games for N64, I would also build things like fans from an erector set. Everything I built as a child was part of a larger story, all my contraptions had something to do with mythical lands I would create all over my bedroom floor with legos. The videogames were what made me want to create my own world, it was like there weren’t enough stories to play through. 

Those factors all sort of boiled over in 7th grade when my English teacher told me that anyone with an imagination could write. He noticed I was always daydreaming in class and decided to let me write down what I was daydreaming about. I got a D in that class because I could never focus and he wasn’t allowed to grade my stories, they weren’t curriculum. I started a ton of stories I never finished, I took a step back and decided to start planning all of them before I wrote them. They’re all still works in progress, I decided to kick start my process of writing all the ideas I came up with over the years by going back to where I started. In art class I drew a picture of Clint Eastwood, then I wrote a story about the character I saw in my picture. This produced "The Burned" which is on my profile if you want to read my sample. 

My next stories are all very different from eachother, a Western is something I never thought to write. I’m glad I did it, right now I’m proud of what I’ve done. Moral of the story, keep daydreaming and making stories out of nothing. You won’t regret it.
