10B Being Creative

I think the first memory I have of being creative was writing a story in second grade. I wrote about a girl who lived in the rainforest and became friends with a tiger. It was only about two pages in length, and the majority of the sentences ended with an explanation point, but I used a lot of description and there was an exciting plot. I handed it to my teacher, and she had me read it aloud to my class on parents day. I was very proud of myself, and I think that was my inspiration to start writing for fun, not only for work. 

The best idea I ever had was in freshman year when I decided to draw the heart on my left wrist that later became a tattoo. Not only did I think it looked cute, it held much symbolism and many memories. It means so much to me that it makes the idea even more important. 

My dumbest idea was probably when I was younger and I decided to take all of the books in my house and make a "library fort" in between two couches. I threw a blanket over them to make the fort part. I got all of the books in it, but then there was no room for me. When I was going into it, I ran face first into the couch arm rest. That couch was nicknamed the torture couch in my family, as it was very hard and not that comfortable. The arm rest was one of the hardest parts, and I knocked one of my teeth out. This was a stupid idea because thinking back on it, I would have been yelled at to take the books out and put them back in their rightful place, and I would not have knocked my tooth out. 

My creative ambition is writing. I love writing poems and short stories. I have actually been working on a book for the last two years, but I have hit a major writers block. I also lost the hard drive of the laptop that it was saved on, so it may be gone forever which is disappointing. I took a creative writing class last year, and it was one of my favorite classes. I also try to write songs, but I'm not that good at rhyming and having the meaning make sense. Writing is, unfortunately, not one of the best ways to make money, so I had to find another passion of mine to specialize in.
