    Writing is pretty much my life. It has filled a big part of me. I find it a way to get your imagination going, letting it flow throughly. The month I didn't have my laptop, I almost died, I couldn't write. I did manually for awhile, but after going back and forth to fix my erros with white out I gave up on it. Writing is a way of life for me. I've only been writing for two years, but I have seen darastic changes. I would say without writing, I would be back to square one where I was two years ago, stuck in my downward spiral to depression, writing is just who I am.

    I love writing! Even though I'm not the best in it or whatever, I love it so much. It's the only hobby that lets me form a different world with the use of words and different phrases. I definitely consider writing magical. :D

    Don't get me wrong, I love writing but sometimes it really frustrates me. Especially when I can't find the right words or can't word what I'm trying to say properly or in the way I want it to sound. I don't always like being the dictator of what happens in stories.

    ^ I know :cheese:
    That's happening to me just now. I know what I want to write but it comes out all wrong.
    It's been going on so long that when I sit down to write, I fear it all coming out wrong and stall, do other things.

    I really wish I could write a lot better.
    I would probably write if I was good at it... but I'm not.

    I'm more of a lyricist than an actual writer as much.
    I can do articles with philosaphy and such.

    I usually put what I write on Word. Then it all goes on a flash drive. I freaked out when I lost my first flash drive but I got over it because the stories on there weren't very good. Now I have a new flash drive with my good stories on them.

    I don't let my parents read what I write, only people on mibba... :D

    I like writing poems. :cute:
    And I used to write stories, but I decided I didn't like them much.

    Haha!! Me neither. I would feel so uncomfortable if they read any of my Mibba stories...
    When I first discovered Quizilla when I was around 13, I was completely in love with the fact that people were able to write about whatever and whoever they wanted. I was so excited. I loved reading things that people wrote, and I finally thought to myself, "Why don't I write one!" I did, but I never posted it, because I was too scared to. :XD But thank god I didn't, because, reading out of the notebook I wrote in then, it was complete crap. Oh god, me in my teenie years. :roll:

    I write a buncha journals about the ways that I'm wasting my youth and summer on booze, boys, and the beach :) it's the best therapy I can think of. I used to write fanfics but I just sort of outgrew them last summer... I miss it though.

    I'd have to say that between my writing and music, I wouldn't exist otherwise. I used to be really depressed--to the point where I wouldn't talk to anyone, even my own family--and I can seriously say that writing and music saved my life. I've had a love for writing since I was in fourth grade (due to a spur-of-the-moment writing assignment because of 9/11).

    I was eight years old when I decided that I was going to be an author.

    In third grade, my teacher had us all write short stories. Pretty sure mine was about me acquiring a pet panda bear and everybody being jealous of me and loving me and my panda. Our teacher had these hard back books of white, filled with unlined, crisp white pages. And I just knew.

    From that point on, I was enamored. I was not a well liked girl; I was, admittedly, loud, annoying, self-centered and egotistical. Transforming myself and my life was far easier when done on paper through pen. My teacher urged me to write and I did. There was a story about my Christmas (and it was awfully dry), a story about a secret valentine. Such silly stuff. Our teacher's aid typed them up for me on a type writer and I illustrated them. Then, my teacher turned around and "sold" these terrible little books to my classmates for the play money we used. Looking back, I can't believe that anyone would have bought them. To this day, I still own all the terrible stories - I just cannot reread them else my stomach churns. xD

    I know a lot of people say that writing is their life, is their relief, saved them, etc. etc. But I write because it's what I do, what I'm good at, what I know. My whole life, I've been too clumsy and unaesthetic for sports, I can't carry a tune in a bucket, my rhythm is terrible, thus I cannot play instruments, or dance. A fear of audiences prevented me from acting and a low self-esteem kept me away from debate. Honestly, all I've ever known is writing. If it wasn't a story or a poem or a silly novelette, it was a diary, a journal, my thoughts.

    In sixth grade I wrote a "thriller" about a girl who was kidnapped when she was young and found her family on t.v. My friend would sit with me every day in homeroom, watching as I wrote it, waiting to read the next part. The story was probably stupid and very badly thought out, but I loved that. Deep down, I adored knowing that someone was reading and loved my words. That was also the year I decided I wanted to be a journalist.

    As I grew older, I let fewer and fewer people read my writing, especially my parents, for which they taunted me. Dad would scoff about my need for more notebooks, with scathing remarks such as "what? So you can write more stories that no one can read?" I just never had the confidence; no matter how much I like a piece of work, I fear it will never be up to their standards, that they will find it silly and petty and think that I could use my talents in better ways.

    Yes, writing accompanied me while I was lonely and taught me to create amazing characters. Often, my plots are weak and I would lose interest, but it has always been there for me. :]

    To this day, I am now a journalist and I'm currently working on a novel. Writing is a hobby, but for most of us, it is a way of life. And I've finally let my parents in on my writing. :]

    I try to write for at least 2 hours everyday. And that is at the least.

    Writing helps me out a lot. When I'm lonely or upset, I write and create wonderful plots. I can create amazing characters too. It's like who I wish I could be, or wish I wouldn't be.

    I think I owe my ninth grade civics teacher the most thanks for my writing. He made us write a story where we were in a historic time, like the industrial revolution. And he was shocked how good it was. He was like 'Did you seriously write this?'

    I've been writing every day since. Sure, I'm writing A LOT of All Time Low fan fiction right now, but I'm branching out. I hope I can write a novel one day.

    A lot of people laugh, at my school, when I say I like writing. I'm already called an emo, so I guess the few that do know kind of associate it with poetry.

    I don't write poetry, I write one-shots and extensively layered novels. I have numerous joint ones with a friend, and most of mine are requested, by either of two unnamed friends.

    They also tend to revolve around my current obsession (Harry Potter, MCR etc.)

    I always knew I was better than most at writing stories, and my results showed that, but I never thought it'd be something I do for fun.

    I have a special fondness for writing school based stories that often have many romances, problems, and the occasional death in them.

    But I love to write now, and I really want to be an author when I'm older.

    I do enjoy writing, I just don't feel like writing most of the time.
    I have the attention span of a squirrel and I never finish anything.

    Also, I can't write stories. I find it hard to write well in third person and I hate second person, so I write in first. But when I do, I find I can only really write informal things like diary entries. Strangely, I like writing things like this (posts on forums) and answering questions in detail. I don't know why, I just do. Especially in my science lessons at school.

    To be honest, I prefer reading.
