Old Tales and Stories

It has been one great journey in writing for me.

I began to write stuff, plainly imaginative things, unto MS word during 3rd year after I was inspired by a certain graphic novel a friend of mine introduced me to. This was the time where I came to practice such an art into what it is today, a passion at least, for the time being. I hope I never stop because I have grown so attached to the use of words, creation of characters, weaving of plot elements and the many and much love of my friends who give some of their time to read at an ambitious kid who just wants to tell a story.

Two years, and I look back into the collection of the stories I made from an old folder I stored before I got this new computer which was a year old. Back then, I couldn't play any games in the pc and I stuck to writing most of the time yet now that I have that computer for games, I still find time to write because I enjoy it as much as playing any video game! Isn't that amazing?

Anyways, I found the old stories of mine. They sucked and most of you haven't heard of them but for that particular point in time when I finished a chapter, I was so happy. Many of the people who first critiqued them are busy now with school and greater things yet I do appreciate them, truly, for getting me started. Thanks to James, Joey, Angelica, Berk, Richmond, Manuel and especially to Ryan and Sophia (who continues to read em today). Their comments and remarks make these stories better and better. So for the audience of Musings of an Edging Sanity, I will present some of the best chapters of the past two years. Enjoy
