I suddenly remembered my first short story I wrote last year for our English performance task...maybe I should post it here lol! The grammar is ass and the amount of times I went to Merriam-Webster looking for synonyms is uncountable! The ending was also crappy and rushed because it was literally 11:45 am and I had to pass it before 12... The story was overall half-assed since the limit was 20 pages so I couldn't capture their individual personalities that much and also the character development..But I'm lowkey proud of it? For a first story, it wasn't so bad... I managed to make three of my friends cry when they finished it and another one cussing at maximum volume because of the ending lmao! So as a writer, their reactions meant so much to me!
I was still fourteen at the time and now I'm turning 16...boy time sure passes by so fast! I literally have so many ideas for upcoming stories but I'm too occupied these days with school and stuff...
Lmk if yew wanna read it and I'll post the introduction thingy!
Fun fact: The name for the other main lead was based from a cute guy I talked with one time during one of my tutoring sessions... he's kind of autistic though but his name was very pretty so I stole it.

Honestly, I’d be curious to read it! As a fellow writer, I also wrote a short story for English class once, so here’s my little anecdote about that:
I was really demotivated at first, because all my classmates were already writing and I, the writer girl, had no ideas…(even though we got a prompt for the plot)
but I honestly ended up enjoying the process, and I’m kind of proud of it!
And yeah I also wrote my first story like 3 years ago… time flies!
Time is really a fickle thing! I forgot I posted this blog but looking back at the story, I almost bawled at the amount of mistakes but I guess that means I've improved? Anyways!! Maybe I really SHOULD post it now...
