Its been so long since I've created any prose or poetry that I feel a tad rusty getting back into the art, but I can probably find some of my old work when I get home, and I can copy it here. I won multiple awards for my writing growing up, as my teachers would enter what I wrote in state and national contests. I often would win 1st prize for my age group and would at least place for all age groups combined. It really used to stroke my ego that people liked what I wrote.
