 How'd I find out about writing prompts? You know, it's a funny story.

 I have a family who does not know how much I really write. They think it's a hobby, something I do in my free time. Oh no. I write anytime and anywhere, I get up at five without an alarm to write. I sacrifice movies, television and books for writing. I am never more than arms reach from a notebook and pen. 
 
 
 
 
 
 My favourite constellation is the Pleiades. Because I'm never quite sure I'm pronouncing it quite properly. 
 
 I discovered I enjoyed writing as a child, I was seven. As I wrote what I thought at the time was the best story ever written, I had an idea in my head but did n't have the word. I tried explaining to my teacher and she told me to look it up in a dictionary. I looked it up. I continued writing. I have a memory of a little girl asking the teacher nearly the same question aboutvocabulary I had asked. The teacher pointed at me and said `` ask him, he knows.'' 
 
 I was hooked. 
 
 The word? Territory. The first story I remember writing was titled Unknown Territory. 
 
 That's all I have of that story, a title and a memory. Both likely manufactured out of nearly whole cloth. 
 
 Why do I write? It's a compulsion, like it is for most of us here I think? 
 
 Also I am embarassed to add that I have a lot of rules for myself. One of which is daily writing. Competitive fiction and Brain Dumps. 
 
 I'll close by saying I'm really grateful to this community. I may slowly be getting better. 
 
 Looking forward to the next noveltte competition. 
 
 For evidence that I have improved, I submit the following link: http: //b8a.blogspot.com 
 Which is where I am one again posting after being rejected for publication because I had posted the story online which counted as prior publiction. 
 
 Good to put some faces to names in the gallery. 
 
 Thanks once again and keep those prompts coming.
