    Well I was told I could write two years ago, in year 9. So just progressed from there.

    But I've always loved writing stories. We wrote books in year two, so I was 5/6 and for a 5 year old, I had a very strange imagination. They were pretty good aswell :P Lol. My first one was "The Magic Toybox" Which contained two Goblins that came out on Halloween, so to keep them in the box the girl had to go and find Goblin food to feed them :) lol.

    I've always loved to write...more short stories than anything. I've just recently (over the last year and half) been writing poems. Though I wouldn't say I discovered that I'm good at it.....

    I can't write poems, so I haven't made any such discovery yet, but I keep trying. I used to write poems when I was about 6 years old, which I suppose were reasonable (for a 6 year old!). At school I only ever had one English teacher who realised that poetry existed. The others just swept it under the carpet, which I always thought was a shame. That was when I started reading Spanish poetry, which I loved even though I didn't understand it. (I was weird, okay!)

    I don't consider myself a writer...It is just something that emerged out of the blue...Mostly jotting down my feelings and thoughts...And that was after something happened that changed my whole life forever...in a bad way...And it wasnt the common feeling of leaving a loved one.

    When everything around me started colliding with horrible things.. like my Mother passing away.. I just lost it.. and Started writing.

  • Pete

    I never really discovered i could write poems, i just sort of did it. And other people started telling me i had a knack for it.. so it was more like other people discovering i could write poems rather than me..

    I've been writing poems for approximatly 5 years. I'd like to think I'm getting better at it, and that's kinda how I found this site. Here I can get feedback on what I write and so far it seems good:)

    well, I've written since I was in 4th grade. but when I was 17 I was watching this episode of Angel and it inspired me to put words in rhyme.

  • Lori

    I discovered i could write poems when i was writing a story and some of it started rhyming so i decided to stick with stuff like that and put my emotions down on paper.

    I found out just recently when I was betrayed by my friend and darkness ruled over my life for a short time. Hopefully I can improve them, though many people like them... well ..exept for the dark part. heh

    I disovered my dark gift when I was twelve, as most shunned psychics will tell you. Coming out to my parents was the hard part, but they, in time, accepted me for the person I truly am.

    Over the years, I developed my powers and learned to delve into the minds of others. This coincided with me drinking a lot of tea and wearing tie-dye eveything.

    Had I not been faced with my inherent abilities, who knows what may have befallen me.

    In short, I think this was the dumbest question ever posed on this site. Jesus, it's not like telepathy or being able to roll your tongue inwards. No one "discovers" they can write.

    You have a hankering to write and you start a-typing. Trust me. No herbal teas necessary.

    I started (tried) writing songs at the age of 10, but it was slightly disasterous cos 10 year olds can't write songs like baby one more time..... lol.
    I still don't know if i'm any good but i've progressed... i think ~*~
