It’s not just a hobby or even a passion.
I don’t take writing seriously.
In fact, I don’t even know if I take writing titles seriously.
I’m a big procrastinator so any type of writing might take a while. But out of all the failures I’ve had, writing was always something I finished.
I never finished cleaning, eating, or even something as simple as throwing my trash out.
There would always be some gap in between anything I did. My tasks were never complete.
That’s how my life felt for a very long time ever since elementary school — incomplete.
The first time I ever wrote something — 5th Grade
Okay I’m lying here a little bit.
I obviously don’t remember the first time I ever wrote something. I don’t think anyone does since writing is something you learn very early on.
However, the first long form essay I could possibly remember writing was in 5th grade. I forget the topic, but it was for a history class so maybe about the constitution or presidents.
It was a timed write. She gave us the whole class period (45 minutes) to see what we could write on the topic.
