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.

Was this novel published?

No, it wasn't. I started it when I was 12, it wasn't the most polished piece of literature, haha. XD

I did get several short stories and poems published though.
