Let's begin!

Reading "On Writing" by Stephen King made me a little motivated to start writing tidbits of my past. As far back as I can remember, when my feet barely reached the edge of the couch, I drew my stories. Of course no one could figure out my story by looking at my drawings, but they were never short stories either. I think it's just in me to write big long adventures facing different adversaries, either it be people vs people, vs animal, or friends.
For words, I was too young to put any together so I wrote Z Zz zzZZ zZZz. I even took a shit ton of paper and I'd fold it to look like a book. Then I'd scribble in it to make it look like a real story was in this real looking book. I'd even give them as gifts to my cousins.
When I discovered my mother's recipe book with a ton of blank pages, you could only guess what I did....I wrote a story. I remember this book, pink with tiny tiny flowers and it had a soft feel to it, like material bound it.
I began to draw this awesome adventure that me and my brothers and my cousins were about to take. I'm pretty sure I wrote it with Laura watching. It might have been at one of our famous family get togethers too. Anyways, it started off with all five of us playing around my house (which was five stories taller, than it was in real life) and we decided we were going to look for gold. I drew different places we visited on our quest for gold. Five pages later (and writing over a recipe) we found our gold! We bathed in it and played and enjoyed the riches. We brought as much of it back with us to the house, where my mother had her head out one of the windows, and boy her hair was half the size of the house. (She had a perm back in the early 90's)
Needless to say, I was so proud of this crazy, cool adventure that I brought the book to school, I was in JK so I was four at the time. I forced my friend Brad to sit with me in the cloak room while I read my adventure to him....everyday. And everyday I'd change it up a bit too.

So my first full length story was in 1993. BAM

Picture

This is me at Bon Echo park.
It was the end of September and during the ride up to Ottawa we decided to stop by. The picture doesn't do any justice, the cliff in front of me was stunning. You didn't have anything to say about it even if you tried your breath would be captured by the beauty of it.

2010 with my Dad.

The Hunger Games Movie- On the right track?

Well, I loved it. My boyfriend on the other hand, didn't understand the whole 'history' part of it. Which is understandable since he didn't read any of the books, so I just filled him in. I thought they followed the book really well and did a good job with the detail of the Capitol's culture. *Spoiler Alert* Things that left out:
-Peeta's leg being amputated
-The depth of the "Dogs". (In the book they go into some great detail on their eyes reminding Katniss of Roe's eyes.)

Those two things they left out were okay. Reading the whole series, the depth of the dogs kinda fades into the plot (like everything else) and I think, in the book they could have done alot more.
Anyways, I'm trying to keep this short. Devontional Writer says so!
