I got a short story published in an anthology at age 11, did extra classes at year 9-10 level when I was in year 5-6, got the highest grade in my state for the national fiction writing competition at age 14, won the national mental health poetry prize age 15, and wrote a 235,000 word novel from age 12 to 18, stopping for a few years in the middle to prioritise school work.

Damn. I wish i had more time to do some writing. Monster Hunter is just a lot easier...

Thanks. :) Since I've been at University I haven't had so much time to write; once you're writing essays and stuff you feel less like writing in your spare time. ;) In the last 6 years I've written three more shorter stories; a 45,000 word one, a 63,000 word one, and a third one that I'm currently up to 30,000 words on and still writing. At some point I want to try to get some of these three published, but I'm worried they're not good enough.
