When did you discover that you have a writing prowess?

I didn't know that I loved writing until I was in high school. I submitted a poem to my English teacher and it was published in our school paper. That started all. How about you?

Good. We can learn anything as long as we are willing to discover how things are done.

When BFF and I had a fight in high school, I was so mad but I couldn't even say anything without stuttering while she was smirking. I took a pen instead and wrote what I wanted to say and she burst into tears after reading.

Yes, sometimes there are many things that we want to say but we just cannot utter. So writing helps.

i started writing poetry and when magazines and poetry papers accepted my poetry. I realized I could write. Although I've kept a journal a good part of my life.

Journals...We are always encouraged to write journals in our church but I never tried doing it. It's good you keep one.

@lingayako I wish I had kept more. I didn't do it consistently. I looked at a few of mine sometime ago and there were things I had forgotten that were interesting.

It started when I found out I could get paid for writing in Bubblews which unfortunately closed. Now I'm in myLot.
