HELLO STEEMIT

I've been a writer since the age of 4, and that's not an exaggeration. The first book I ever wrote was called 'The Book of Me' and it basically just listed out all my family members. I sold it to some friends of my parents for two pennies and from that point on I developed the misguided belief that people were inherently interested in my life and my writing.

Later I moved away from 'the self' and delved into complex relationships, as seen in the book I wrote at age 6 or 7 titled 'The Lion and the Girrafe'

As you can see, I included a title page, because I believed the publishers would need that. I remember very clearly the two things that inspired me: one was the relationship between Simba, Timon and Pumba in The Lion King. The other was that scene in The Little Rascals where Alfalfa and Spanky fall out over Darla, and then make up when they realise their friendship is worth more than some girl. I'm not sure how much of my inspirations made it into the above story arch but I do very much remember trying to capture the essence of both stories. The 'research' presented at the end was admittedly made up, but I remember thinking publishers would want to know what authority I had to write about safari-based subjects.

Ever since then I have written on a daily basis. Some of my writing has made its way onto little Hello Kitty diaries with flimsy locks and keys, some onto Moleskin journals, some onto Xanga Blogs (try, try to remember those!) and some onto cringe-worthy and ernest emails/WhatsApps to friends.

But, like my sweet little story about the lion and the 'girrafe', none of my writing has ever been published. Until now. Please let me know if you still require the extra title pages, or if you have people that do these for us busy authors.
