I started to write when I was about eight years old. Little did I know that it would lead to great success in my life. 1
It started as a homework assignment in my grade school - to simply write a story of your choice. But I had no ideas; everytime I grabbed a pencil and stared at teh blank line paper nothing came into my mind.2
However, later on while laying on my desk in my apartment building, I turned on the radio to listen to music. Music always cheered me up or gave me some ideas.3
Then, it struck at me like lightning to a tree.4
Ihad an inspiration for solitary, dark, depressing music, sometimes joyous and resplendent, in my writing ability.5
But writing about darkness wasn't enough. I was terrible at it, and no one would read it.6
For in darkness, there is some light to expel.
Author notes
Honestly, I couldn't list how or why I started to write. It just came to me.
