Why do we (I) like to write?

(Hrmmms.)

    (cue corny music from This is your life! ;))
    For me it was because I was bored.
    I loved science fiction.
    I love anime when it first hit the states, what I saw on t.v, 
getting influenced by so much when I was a kid.
    I started to think up adventures with my friends and I. Various 
t.v. programs caught my interest, Robotech was a major one. So where a 
few others. I liked to read books and imagine. Let my imagine run, no 
boundaries, no voices telling me to stop and do something else. When I 
was bored I would doddle on pieces of paper in school. The pics soon 
took up the entire page and slowly got better (thank you lord ;))
    I started to write scenarioes out on paper, Galaxy Rangers, 
Robotech, Star Trek, Quantum Leap, a two page script for Tiny Toons, a 
Batman 3 ( a day after I saw Batman Returns :( ) story introducing 
Ghost Rider and the return of the Joker, as well as a Knight Rider 
story.
    I ended up working on the Beginning more then anything else. The 
very first of a long line of stories with the same people in it. The 
basic story line as it is now: A group of kids are taken from Earth, 
placed on a distant planet and asked to defend it. When they return 
home they find the place ransaked by the Invid and such. So many 
speeling mistakes and grammer I gave Basile (my best friend) the 
stories to proof read.
    And so after eight long, grueling years this what I have to show!

topples onto him. This pile of paper is about five feet tall. Covering 
Bentley completely.)
    I neglected to mention I'm a pack rat right? ;)

    P.S: And money had no influence on me....(dollar signs errupt in 
both eyes and Bentley does his best Montana Max impression.)
