Have you guys ever written a biography by the way? I've started one, about myself obviously, called The Art of Being Bullied. It's been tough as heck to write, but it's also a good way to let go of a lot of demons from my past.

Good luck with that, Bellatrix. Actually I would be quite depressed if I started writing my biography. My life was pure derp mostly and I don't actually want to remember half of the things. And I am pretty young so this bio would be drastically short ^^

It's almost a joke how bad my life's been, but writing about it gives me a chance to once and for all confront it so that I can move on. I mean, when you go through what I've gone through it'll always be there, it can't go away, but I know I can at least make peace with the fact that they happened and there's nothing I can do to change it. Writing about it helps with that.

I think I just couldn't write it down. I mean, I must be the type of person, which hides everything deep down in the soul.
And to be honest, lately I can't write anything down. It's kind of writer block but lasts for two years. Before that time I wrote five novels and felt good with writing, now it's like a curse.

That's what I've always done. I'm 24 and when I first started writing that story it was the first time I admitted even to myself that some of those things had even happened.

My biography would be the dullest thing on the planet, so no, never attempted one of those. I dont even keep a diary. I would think writing a biography would be more difficult than a normal story, I dont know why since you would be writing true events down, but just seems like it would be more difficult.
Though I have considered writing a book like 'Things I Wish I Never Heard My Father Say', detailing all the embarrassing :duh: moments.

I think when it comes to having write actual events you have to be careful not to let your memories go from reliable to non-reliable.

I should write a book "Funny Things Daddy Did While Being Drunk". That would be a hit, because he was always was drunk and always was doing funny things. Of course when he wasn't losing money.

Still, I did it my own way ;) and I was 17.

How old were you when you wrote your first *proper* story? Like, chaptered, well-planned, plot all thought out... Not necessary to have finished it, but just in general, when did you first started writing more of a *real* story?


As it is my duty as club leader and awesome extraordinaire (because I say so) I'll try to bring up new subjects as soon as the discussion dies down. Maybe I'll even throw together a few fun projects and short writing challenges for us.

I was 6. Yes, early but I have learned to read and write when I was 5 and soon I started to writing myself. It's thanks to my mm, who was reading to me whole day long when I was little.

I remember it was story about a boy and his dog who puts himself into biggest troubles. I think it was even series of the stories.

I was 12 when I first sat down, made a proper characters list, went to the library for research, and made a detailed timeline for everything that was going to happen in the story. I believe it took me a few months to prepare everything I'd need before I started actually writing. I consulted maps and emailed a local Doctor for help regarding an illness I was going to include.

I have never doing the researches. I have read many books in my life so some things stayed in my head from just reading. Of course my novels lacked realism but it was for purpose. I like when my novels drift into something not from this world ;)

I'm allergic to books without research. I cringe so bad when characters go to the hospital, get pregnant, buy/sell their house, get married, or do other really common things and it's clear that the writer has NO idea and just makes it up as they go along.
