- I learned to read at three years old. - I learned to write at three years old (later of course). - I first met someone who loved to read in early elementary school. - I first met someone who loved to write (IRL) when I was... 17 I think? - My first writing assignment was in first grade. - I started to enjoy writing stories when I was 7. Whenever I wrote a story and my teachers found out, they would take it upon themselves to "share it with the class" (somehow, I continued to enjoy writing stories despite this). :P - I've never been an avid reader. - I became a devoted writer and decided I wanted to get published at 11. - Writing became really serious to me at 13. - I won one at 12, if I remember correctly. A couple of my short works were published in anthologies as part of national contests, but I didn't win either of those - I was just a finalist in both of them. - Everyone kind of knew I wrote all through school. I don't think they realized how serious I was about it until high school, but they knew. My parents were the first to really know, though.

1. I started in preschool but I was really good by the 1st grade. 2. Preschool, but again I started making stories in kindergarten/1st grade. 3. Very early in life. My mother and my cousin :) 4. Again, my mother and my cousin 5. Middle school. 6. Kindergarten 7. 1st grade 8. Lol, kindergarten. 9. I think around 3th grade. Somewhere around that time. 10. I decided I wanted to be a screenwriter in 7th grade. 11. 7th grade 12. 4th grade 13. My family always new. ~I'm Hiding In Your Closet

1. At the age of two. 2. Also at the age of two. 3. My whole family loves to read, so, from birth. 4. No idea. 5. As soon as everyone in the class could write. So, I imagine I'd have been about five. 6. I liked it from the start, so when I was two. 7. As above. I liked it as soon as I learnt to do it, when I was two. 8. From the start. 9. From the start. 10. When I was about three or four. 11. It was always serious for me. 12. When I was nine or ten. 13. I've never made a secret of it, ever.

Um...I can tell you the little that I remember... 1. What time do you first learn to read? In kindergarden I guess. I first grade. I was a late bloomer when it came to reading. 2. What time did you first learn to write? I remember writing in first grade, so I'll go with that. 3. What time did you first meet someone who loved to read? In third grade, I think. 4. What time did you first know someone who loved to write? Never. I didn't write until sixth grade. The idea never came to me until then. 5. What time did you have your first school writing assignment? I'll say first grade. I don't remember anything from back then though. I do remember a story I wrote about an alien in third grade though. 6. What time did you start reading, considerably enough to like it? Sixth grade. Like I said, I was a late bloomer. Until then, I thought there were only boring books. Then I read The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. 7. What time did you start writing, considerably enough to like it? Same time as the previous question. Sixth grade. My entire writer persona came out during my year in sixth grade. 8. What time did you become a devoted reader? After I started liking books I became a devoted reader. Although I may be too picky to be called "Devoted". 9. What time did you become a devoted writer? 6th Grade. One I started I couldn't stop. 10. What time did you decide you wanted to be an author? Last year. 11. What time did writing become serious to you? (Not the same as wanting to publish.) The same time I started writing original fiction as opposed to fanfiction. So about...7th grade. 12. What time did you first win some any sort of writing contest? 7th Grade there was a writing contest for English class. We read the books from other students and voted for our favorite. I won. There was even a party in my honor. Sadly, I couldn't make it. 13. What time did you first tell someone that you wrote? As soon as I started writing. My first fanfiction was a collaboration piece.

1. My parents read to me a lot when I was young, and I taught myself to recognise some common words when I was two. By the time I was five, my reading age was about nine. 2. What, stories? Much later. The first story I can remember attempting to write - a legend about why the rabbit is a vegetarian - was when I was about ten. 3. My mum loves to read, so... all my life! 4. University, second year, when I did a first-year Creative Writing paper as an elective. 5. I don't really recall. The one about the rabbit was for school, but I'm pretty sure there were earlier ones. I just can't remember them. 6. Very, very young. We have a video of me reading the supermarket specials out loud when I was about three - and loving it - so... 7. It sort of varies, depending on whether I had any ideas. The first time I recall enjoying the art of writing was when I was eleven and we had to rewrite a novel into a short play, and get a group of classmates together to perform it. I rewrote George MacDonald's "The Princess and the Goblin". But the next time I wrote a story I enjoyed was when I was fifteen! 8. Again, extremely young. I don't remember a time when I didn't love reading. 9. I'm still not! When I was doing writing papers for university I was a devoted writer, but I seem to need the impetus of assessment and/or other people writing around me, and I can't seem to get into the groove without it. 10. I never decided I wanted to be an author; I decided that whenever I had a tale to tell, I would tell it to the best of my ability. Usually the tales are fanfiction due to the block I've got, but hey. It's still writing. 13. I told a friend in my first year of university.

1. At the same time as my older sister. I was four and she was five. 2. Around the same time I learned to read. 3. As an infant? Lol. My dad. 4. Fifth grade. A classmate. 5. First grade in Literary Club. 6. Since I learned to read, actually. 7. Fifth grade, because we had awesome weekly writing prompts. 8. Again, since I could read. 9. Sixth grade, because I had a wonderful teacher. 10. Seventh grade. 11. Still hasn't. xD I do it for fun. 12. Seventh grade. I won the school poetry contest. 13. Sixth grade. Because my mom made me let her read the writing.

1. K-4 and K-5. In first grade, I got moved to the slow reader's group. My mom was confused because I was reading smoothly and quickly at home. One day, she took me in there to speak with the teacher about it, and I said, "Oh, am I supposed to read fast? The other kids read slow." I was an interesting child. 2. To write stories? Well, fourth grade. We had to write our "tall tales". 3. K-4. The librarian at my school. I didn't grow close to her till fifth grade. 4. This current year. 5. 2nd grade. Creative writing would be fourth grade. 6. 5th grade. I read Twilight. Hey, it was my first book I read for fun! Don't judge me! 7. 6th grade. It was about a mermaid. Ugh. 8. The summer of my fifth grade year. 9. The summer of my sixth grade year. 10. Sixth grade. 11. Seventh grade. 12. Never. 13. fifth grade.
