Quote by Ping
I didn't write stories until a few months before joining Lush. I wrote a couple stories specifically for someone in particular. When these last-ditch efforts were not appreciated and less than enthusiastically received, that relationship finally died a long-overdue death, and I started writing for me on Lush. At the time, there was a creative void in my life, so I began cooking and writing.
Prior to that, I had only written technical documents such as contracts and purchase agreements, bylaws, terms of reference, and scathing Canadian-style letters of complaint.
The earliest recollection I have of writing anything creative was in grade four, so I must have been nine or ten. I remember because my teacher wanted me to know the words iconoclastic and antidisestablishmentarianism. I wrote a story in haiku format entitled, Little Boy. It was a lovely rhyming story about that nuclear bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan on August 6, 1945.
I did write romantic poetry for a few unlucky ladies until one of those ladies broke my heart. That was almost thirty years ago. I stopped writing poetry for anyone until I started writing again for a muse I met here a few years ago. I don't see any more poetry writing in my future, but I am working on my first movie and television series scripts.
Stop
I will endeavour to read your stories when I get a chance.
