What (Or who) inspired you to be a writer? My favorite author, Darren O'Shaughnessy (his pen name is Darren Shan) inspired me to start writing. He is the author of Ayuamarca, Hell's Horizon, and the ever-popular children's horror series The Saga of Darren Shan ( Cirque Du Freak) and The Demonata. His clever plot twists, unique characters, odd metaphores, and balance between humor, action, and horror convicenced me to pick up a pencil and being writing my own stories.
Did you always like writing, or is writing a hobby you picked up later in life? I actually hated writing just until the end of 7th grade. Up until then, I found it pointless and beleived I had no such talent in weaving stories.
And what do you write about? I write mostly about vampires and some fictious creautes called 'Magus' I created, but recently I've been poking around in the quantum theory and multipile personality subjects.

What (Or who) inspired you to be a writer? Hm...I am really not sure. Ever since I first learned to write, in Elementary School, I have always loved writing. I sort of just...learned how to write, and love it so much. I was always amazed at how a bunch of letters could for so many words, and those words could form a variety of sentences, and paragraphs, and so on and so forth.
Did you always like writing, or is writing a hobby you picked up later in life? Hm...Like the answer to the first question, I have always liked writing.
And what do you write about? Well, besides school assignments and essays, I write nonfiction books occasionally (Biographies, Guides/How-to's, Articles). I like writing fantasy, sci-fi, roleplaying (if that counts), adventure, and poetry. I like to write novels, and also short stories and I just started writing fanfictions quite recently. For poetry, I usually write about nature - the weather, animals, things I see in the sky or land, or just...living things. Sometimes though, I write about more of a 'fantasy poem' or a poem about people, or non-nature-related stuff.

Wow! So you're kind of a well-rounded writer then I guess, huh?
I've never looked at letters that way until I started learning a foriegn language, Then I started seeing it all as little building blocks, sort of like biology; Cells, then tissue, organs, organ systems, organisum. I saw that language was the same way; Letters, words, sentences, paragraphs, until it became a story. It's amazing.

OMG, I'm the exact same way! Seriously, I was in the same boat as you both. I learned that was how you were supposed to do it, but at the same time, I hated the way it was. Probably because I was already a writer. I did my best with it, of course I wasn't completely satisfied.
To be honest, that was how I first role played Amelia and Strider. you know, from my story. I was writing before them though, thank you. xD
I started reading fanfiction, and thought it might be fun to try... because I didn't like any of the stories I was reading. xD I've always loved reading, so maybe I had specific tastes thanks to that or something.

What (Or who) inspired you to be a writer? A lot of things inspired me to start writing. First, there was the author of The Lottery Rose and Across Five Aprils. I forgot her name(I think it's Irene Hunt), but she's a great writer. Then, there were fanfictions and quizzes on Quizilla!(I started out with quizzes, then later moved on to fanfictions). But the more I read, the more I wanted to write and create stories of my own.
Did you always like writing, or is writing a hobby you picked up later in life? I picked up on writing quite a bit later in my life(well, late in my short fourteen years), because I felt silly putting things on paper. I didn't like expressing myself. I was always hidden behind a book or showing off what I knew in class. But when I turned twelve, I said, "Enough of my pent-up crap, I'm putting this down in ink," and now I love writing.
And what do you write about? I write aboutall kids of things, from ancient Japan to America five-hundred years from now(well, maybe not the latter, but you get the point). But Ialmost always write fictional stories, and they never seem to finish...
