My name is Justin but online I use the alias Golden Routes formally known as Opachii. I have loved writing since the 3rd grade! The weird thing about me liking to write is, that I hated reading in school and still do to this day. Anyway, my love for writing all started one day when I was forced to write a page before leaving school for the day. It was my last class for the day and I was ready to go home.
In the class I was in at the time. We had this fun little cup of marbles. Depending on the marble you got. Depended on the activity you had to do. Some of these activities were fun while others were not so much. Sometimes it just depended on the kids for what they liked and didn’t like. I didn’t like any schoolwork activities. I hated school.
That didn’t change the fact that I got the clear see-through marble. The marble signified writing an entire page. I was 9 or 10 years old when this happened. I didn’t know what I was doing. I didn’t know how to write and make up an entire one-page story. I felt it was unfair for me to have to write so much. I never had to before so I was confused about why I had to this time.
Thankfully it wasn’t as hard as to just come up with a story all on my own. I was able to select a rosette card from a box in which there was a red ball. Out of everything I saw the red ball seemed the easier to write about for some reason and it was pretty easy to write that one-page story. That one-page story then turned into a 15-page story and then I lost it.
