Writing about Writing

I have always loved to write, except for when I'm forced. I don't like being given an assignment where I write about something I've read or being restricted to only write about certain things that anyone else could write. I know this is a problem because I have to do this in school all the time, but I love writing about fantasy, my thoughts, and my experiences. I like being creative and putting my own twist on things. Because of everything I've said so far, the writing piece that I am most proud of would have to be a story I wrote in elementary school: Cheesy Dorito Chip.

One day in the cafeteria, my best friend was eating Doritos and an idea for a story popped into my childish mind. I later wrote a story where there was a life-size dorito chip whose name was Cheesy Dorito Chip. He and my friend, who was also a unicorn, fell in love. This human's/unicorn's parents didn't like him. There was also someone who my friends and I hated in elementary school, who in fact goes to OHS. He was the villain and kept trying to separate my friend and Cheesy because he loves my friend. Although I believe the first one is the best, there have been a second and third one written. It is an intense series that will keep you page turning for about ten minutes!

Since I was only in elementary school, it wasn't my best word choice or quality, but I am still very proud of it. Not only was it the longest story I had written at the time, 10 pages, it was a story that incorporated my friends in a crazy story that they all loved. My best friend who is one of the main characters loves the story and still talks about it. This silly story is a legacy between my friends and I and we will never forgot about it. I still pull it out sometimes and read it. It always makes me laugh and brings me back to the simple times of my childhood.
