    Great question!

    I wrote a lot as a kid. Tons of random stories. I never got very far with them. Sometimes not even a chapter. I love going through my notebooks (I HAVE TONS!!!) and reading all my “beginnings” of stories… haha

    Here’s a couple of titles (or not haha) with small explanations:

    The Secret Cave and the Magic Stone: LOL. I actually got through like 7 chapters of this!!! WOW. I was so pumped about it. Then I lost the notebook. Never found it… “slaps forehead”. I’m notorious for losing things. Anyway… It was supposedly about this family who goes on vacation around the US and they go to this cave (I think) and they meet this 2 foot tall man (when I was little I totally remember thinking about that and being really excited haha) and somehow they find this magic stone… yeah it’s great! lol

    NO TITLE 1: So it was about this girl with horrible behavior so her parents sent her to this home… yeah. Umm. about a chapter, tho I thought about it and worked on it more than that. I kept changing stuff. But I had like a whole page and more where the head lady is telling her the schedule. I really like being super organized so I had fun planning that. lol. Only now do I realize that my readers would have gotten bored super fast :).

    That story believe it or not (and a lot of my childhood ones) were based on dreams (as well as the secret cave one) LOL.

    What was gonna happen was that this girl was still super bad so they sent her to a different school a year later and all I remember is that in my dream they slept in these cubicle things with stairs… don’t even ask. I have no idea. =)

    (a lot of my stories are named chapter one =)) I’m sure you can understand πŸ™‚

    NO TITLE 2: This one was about this girl. She did all these things (I’m being vague… lemme see here). The whole beginning of the second chapter was devoted to what she got for her birthday for like 10 years. My poor readers…

    But she had a horse and tons of pets [like a ball python and a lizard (I loved those animals … still do)] and she knew this girl that was homeless and she gave her food in a barn. I dunno how to explain this…

    I think I had 3 and a half chapters.

    NO TITLE 3: 2 and a half chapters. I really liked this one… It was about this boy who was a servant to a prince but the prince was really mean so he got sent to this other castle to be a messenger. He got training then my story ended. πŸ™‚

    ======================================

    I have SO Many more. It’s just funny to me :). My childhood stories πŸ™‚

    But I guess Β I could just say that I have always written random things. I really enjoy it.

    Thankfully I have an awesome friend who introduced me toΒ actually planning my stories!! (novel idea right?) So I”m liking it now πŸ™‚

    Someday I wanna right books that will always be remembered. Ya know? I’m sure we all do! I want to write a variety of genres too!
