I remember once, I wrote a story about how I felt on Christmas Eve. And sometimes, that will make you feel very bad. Not everyone will like every story you write. All through elementary school and junior high I wrote short stories and plays and poems. Nothing made me feel more special than hearing an audience cheer for a character I had written.
Even better? I got to read it out loud to my classmates, who laughed at the funny parts and cheered when Superbox fought off the evil potato chip can that was his mortal enemy. One story, SUPERBOX, was about a crime-fighting shoe box. But writing stories was fun! And often people liked what I wrote.Īt Oakbrook Elementary, I wrote lots of poems and stories. I tried ballet dancing and singing and playing musical instruments, but I wasn’t very good at any of those things. Other times, though, I wanted to be different - to shine, to have people see me as special. It made me feel normal, when I worried I wasn’t.
I was born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in a suburban house that looked like all the others on my street. This was from the About Me section at Linda Urban's website.
