This was how i and my fiance became Vampire, I was browsing the internet searching on how i could be transformed. When i came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I and my fiance has always dreamed of becoming a VAMPIRES so he asked me my name, country, State, address, photo, etc. and asked me to contact the market of spells for the Hindu materials required for our transformation. So I did and he said that a vampire will be assigned to guide us and direct us on how the items are to be used. After five days I and my fiance was totally a vampire. if you are interested in becoming a vampire, contact him for more information on how you could also be transformed.

I never finished the story because the teacher was ready to move on to the next activity and I was still developing my plot. I also wrote and illustrated a series of books about an anthropomorphic diamond. No idea where I got that one..? In high school I wrote series and depressing ghost and espionage/assassin stories. It wasn't until a decade later that I started a story for something other than a school assignment, and then it was finally about the sort of things I liked reading about.Skyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456668544693248039.post-30065339327597006542012-10-06T16:30:40.616-04:002012-10-06T16:30:40.616-04:00My first story, which I started and stopped more t...My first story, which I started and stopped more times than I can remember was about a boy who moved out west (American west) to the desert. There was an oddly shaped box canyon with a legend about giant bird-spirits which had flung themselves from heaven to crash against the rock, leaving the crater which became the canyon. There were artifacts and spirit-guides and ancient mysteries. I don't know what happened to copies I had, though.<br /><br />It was followed by a weird sci-fi / portal tale about a group of non-friends pulled into a conflict involving a gateway between the "Nine Worlds," as there was life on a different planet in our solar system in each of nine universes.<br /><br />I was an odd kid. Actually, I think I still am. :-)Josinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456668544693248039.post-88587339276426512682012-10-06T16:30:39.574-04:002012-10-06T16:30:39.574-04:00OMG!

I'm still not at the point where I feel brave enough to seriously take on writing something REAL (as opposed to journaling and blogging and letter-writing) again anytime soon. But the one thing that keeps reminding me not to give up hope entirely is the epic, delicious, brilliantly-narrative dreams I still have at night-- when all my mental-and-emotional-baggage gets out of the way and my subconscious just happily CREATES. That's how I started writing, or at least really identifying as a writer: all my early stories were based on dreams I'd had. The first one was in first grade, and it was about a disgruntled Santa's elf who took everyone in our church hostage on Christmas Eve. Because he was disgruntled. And there was like a Find The True Spirit of Christmas theme to it I guess. Anyway, I distinctly remember then, in second grade, we had a poetry-writing assignment, and I thought, "Well, I should be good at this, because *I* am a WRITER." That's the first time I remember seriously putting it into words for myself, identifying myself AS a writer. And I have ever since-- even now, when I'm so terrible at writing, I will identify as a writer if only in the sense of "I communicate best through writing, and I have to put things down on paper/screen just to organize my thoughts. So that makes me, technically, a writer, even if I feel unable to DO anything with it at the moment."Amy M Weirhttp://twitter.com/rockinlibrariannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456668544693248039.post-12253339957861070432012-10-06T16:30:37.577-04:002012-10-06T16:30:37.577-04:00I love this!

The prince goes to rescue her and fights the dragon. In the process, the dragon is pricked and deflates like a balloon. The princess decides the dragon is mean because he's empty inside, so they fill him with good things and he becomes the castle pet. There were illustrations too. :)miriamforsternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456668544693248039.post-33123423273472984942012-10-06T16:30:34.572-04:002012-10-06T16:30:34.572-04:00I wrote poems and plays when I was in elementary s...I wrote poems and plays when I was in elementary school, and I recall writing a very long--let's call it an homage--to Nancy Drew in about third grade. But I wrote a short story in high school about an alien encounter, and it's not till the very end of the story that you realize the arriving alien is human and the narrator is what we would call an alien. Plus I wrote a lot more poetry. I remember thinking I'd better stick to poetry because I didn't have enough ideas for short stories, and a novel would be too hard. Took me a few more years to come up with lots of ideas and the courage to write a middle grade fantasy novel!Kate Coombsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456668544693248039.post-21190469376065706942012-10-06T16:30:33.645-04:002012-10-06T16:30:33.645-04:00I loved reading about the early stories and I'...I loved reading about the early stories and I'll bet a lot of untutored talent lies inside them.

(Maybe you shouldn't say, Leah--that could really screw up my summer.)<br /><br />Amy, we all have times when we question the point of being a writer. Hang in there, and know that all your journaling etc is teaching you valuable skills for when you get back to fiction. (I gave up fiction for twenty years to write for newspapers, and discovered I'd learned A LOT when I started up again.) Also, if you haven't already, read BIRD BY BIRD--might help turn off that radio station in your head that says you're not a writer.Ellen Booraemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4456668544693248039.post-43661052705495356272012-10-06T16:30:31.571-04:002012-10-06T16:30:31.571-04:00Your second-grade self was right.
