Origins, Where My Love of Story Telling Began

I signed up for the origins blogfest and wish to share with everyone where my passion for writing came from. 


I have never been a writer throughout my entire life but just in the past few years I really grew to love it. It actually started when I got my own laptop one Christmas that I forced myself to sit down and try to write a novel. It started well but then I got discouraged and I wasn't happy with how it was going. So I put it aside and hoped one day I could return to it with better ideas. 

It was an important story for me to try and finish because elements of it had been created since childhood. I might not have been a writer at that time but I certainly liked to make up stories. My brother and I, who are twins, developed these stories together and played them like one would play cowboys and indians, or a child pretending to be his favorite superhero. 

We came up with all sorts of aliens, our favorite being the Shadows, an alien being that could disappear in any present shadow. Of course we had the bad government agency called the Alien Hunters who believed all alien presences on earth were bad. But besides the Alien Hunters, the Shadow's great nemesis were the Red Shadows, an alien that cast a red shadow. Another common nemesis were the Gizon which was changed to Geria. We had several more alien groups out there known as, Playgeans, Phantoms, Pydrean, and Moon aliens, they were once shadows that died and now live on the moon. 

As we grew older, we both developed a liking to writing and thought we would write stories based on our past adventures we made up. This is why it was an important story I hoped to write one day and something I didn’t want to give up on.

That spring I got back into writing but started a new story that wound up being my first finished novel that only needs editing and finally publishing.

Coming to finish the fantasy, it was what really knocked me into the love of writing and now I’m overwhelmed with story ideas. The first novel I attempted  I’ve now returned to and am excited about all the new ideas I have for it and directions I want to take it.

As a child I loved to develop stories of fantasies and science fiction and now I hope to entertain others with my writing.
