Awwww thanks, I hope you’ll enjoy it and I welcome any and all asks heh 🙂
Ok, so how did I get started writing? Well, I don’t know really, it’s something I’ve always done for as long as I can remember. I was a voracious reader as a child, and I’m assuming at some point somebody told me I could write my own stories. Maybe I’d run out of reading material for the millionth time, and it was to keep me occupied I don’t know heh.
I don’t remember my early stuff. It was obviously on paper and I don’t have it, but I’m not ruling out the possibility that my mum does. Mum’s keep that kind of thing 🙂 However, I never delete anything digital. I mainly wrote fanfic until I was 16 (and then I quit fanfic for a decade until I started writing Rumbelle) but I do still have the original stories I attempted when I was 11. I never look at them for obvious reasons but back then I was obviously quite ambitious. I had started 3-4 different books in the same series, they were mystery/adventure novels, sort of a private investigator type deal. I imagine there were several because the start was shiny, and not complicated, and once I got into the nitty gritty detail of the plot I lost interest.
I wish I had a funny story about a ‘lightbulb moment’ when I first started writing, but nope it’s just been a part of my life since forever.
