__**My Writing Autobiography**__

WRITING! What can I say, it’s my whole life! I spend every bored minute of my life either starting a new story (trying to keep up with my friends), writing sticky notes or writing in my journal. I can still remember all of my writing prompts. Those were the times when I could write about anything. That’s what I like the most, freestyle! That is why I love writing, just to write what I feel!

The first writing prompt that I remember was in first grade. We had to write all about ourselves. Of course, back in first grade I wasn’t very good at writing, so I only wrote a paragraph. We made these replicas of ourselves out of paper plates, construction paper, and yarn. I remember that mine had pink and purple hair and very big shoes. In my prompt I wrote all about my features and my interests. I said I had brown hair, and blue eyes. I also said I loved girl scouts and tee-ball. As you can see my writing and interests have changed from then. I still have this assignment in my elementary school box stored in the attic.

The next big step in my writing career was in fifth grade during our simulated congressional hearing unit. This was when our whole grade (in social studies class) prepared for a “congressional hearing” on American history. We had to write a four minute speech and nothing over the time given. This was very hard for me because it was my first research paper AND my first speech. Our teachers went through it step by step and made it an easy, learning, and fun experience. This project helped me a lot with National History Day in middle school. SCH was my favorite fifth grade project.

My last major step of writing was in sixth grade when I wrote my favorite piece of writing, my fable. My fable was called Molly the Mouse. This was my favorite because it was such fun to write a fable. That is my favorite genre to write, fiction. This way anything can happen. Whatever I feel or what I wish, can happen. Even if I know it’s impossible, I can make it happen. Fables even come before realistic fiction, which was my favorite genre ever!

I love writing all the time. It is one of the only things I can do when I’m mad, crying, or extremely excited. WRITING IS MY LIFE!
