I
chose Creative Writing for this school semester, and one of the
reasons for my choice can be traced back to when I was a kid. See,
when I was in the fifth grade, there were a few Mondays that were
dedicated to creative writing. I enjoyed these periods immensely—so
much that I even remember being excited the night prior because I
knew what was going to happen the next day.
Now,
this class period lasted for only a few weeks, but what came out of
it was my love for writing; I love to create things that I, as a
writer, can be proud of. It's like my own little world.
I owe
my love for writing to those few weeks in 1998. I've been writing on
and off since then, the first few years were dedicated to fanfiction,
whether it was based on a video game or an anime. It was only until
2006 that I attempted to write something of my own.
We
are now at the end of 2015, and I can safely say that while
fanfiction is fun to write, my preference lies in creating my own
material; I find that there's more freedom in it for me, and I just
enjoy it more as I enjoy the thrill of writing my own characters, my
own story lines, and so on.
