I definitely used to write a lot at school. Comic poetry and drawings about people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wrote things for the school's newspaper, and - like all teenagers - I dabbled in poetry.
I wrote a lot. I was in programs for drawing when I was a kid.
When I was about 12, I spent the summer writing four plays on my dad's old typewriter for a school play competition. And I wrote little comic bits at secondary school and at university.
I was an A student and I liked creative writing.
Even though I was a reluctant reader in junior high and high school, I found myself writing poems in the back of class.
I used to write in school a lot; I always liked it and used to write on my own, comic books, come up with alternate story lines to the stuff I watched and read, a lot of books and TV, episodes of 'Twilight Zone.' I didn't think about it.
I wrote as a kid, but I never wanted to be a writer, particularly. I had been drawing and painting for years and loved that.
I was a 16-year-old girl at one point, so of course I wrote poetry.
I've always written. When I was in school, the only teacher who ever liked me was my creative writing teacher. I used to enter poetry competitions, and I don't think I ever lost one. So I had the idea for a while of being some kind of poet.
I didn't write anything at all except book reports until I was in seventh grade, and then I wrote mostly poetry for myself.
