From Dunn To Done
Being a literal child of the 60's (born 1962) I was not inundated with electronic mediums of entertainment as are today's children. My mother was a stay at home mom, my father a soldier. Mom taught me to read before I ever started kindergarten, for which fact I am eternally grateful. I was a very small child who, at age five, was about the size of most three year olds. Neighbors and friends would wonder and exclaim over this tiny little boy sitting on his mother's lap reading a novel out loud to her. My most shining memory of kindergarten was in the first few days of school when I wrote a paper that my teacher was so enamored of that she had me take it to other classes to read aloud. I was so proud I could burst.

THE MONKEYS
Once upon a time, in a lush and enchanting forest known as Misty Grove, lived a lively troop of monkeys. This group of monkeys was unlike any other in the entire jungle. They were known for their boundless energy, quick wits, and their insatiable curiosity, which often led them into all sorts of amusing and sometimes troublesome situations.

Why Writing is so Difficult, but Worth its Weight in Gold. . Top Story - August 2023.
Breaking into the writing profession (whether freelance or otherwise) is far from easy. Then again, I was not searching for the writing profession to accept with me with open arms. The profession came to me. In case you are wondering; the structure of this is part memoir, part wisdom.

The first piece
First piece I ever wrote professionally was a survey of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) in 1987, for a publication aimed at specialist computer equipment manufacturers. Not the most interesting subject for a young business and technology journalist, but I felt I had done a good job.

#1 . Top Story - August 2023.
from a young age I’ve always enjoyed writing it seemed to be the only thing that could keep me together, in all the chaos of life. It wasn’t always the best, my child that is. There was a lot of rough patches, sadness and a lot of bullying. The only place I had to go was into the forest. With my pen and paper.

Yeah . . . I think I Plagiarized
I've read another submission to this challenge, and it was absolutely lovely; "The Little Writer" by L. C. Schafer (sorry, I don't know how to add the umlaut to your name). The author sketched a story of childhood imagination and what it truly means to write, what it feels like to have stories in your mind and to convey them to something more solid. (Go read it. It's good!)

LeBron's Homecoming: A Glimpse into My Writing Journey and Evolution
Welcome, readers. My debut essay, written back in 2014, stands out as the essence of my humble beginnings as I take a trip down memory lane in my writing career. LeBron James' victorious return to the Cleveland Cavaliers was the subject of the article, which not only captured the attention of basketball fans but also inspired me as a writer. It's amazing to see how far I've come in terms of perspective and style when I look back on that timeline.

Colorado
Being a high school student in the UK is very different from the American experience, I can say with confidence. Apart from our archaic requirements of uniforms and umbrellas (because monsoon season runs all year), there's also the mood. I am not writing from experience of attending an American high school, but this starts because I grew up on American TV shows. Ask any British kid growing up in the 90s, the first accent you learn to replicate is the American one thanks to the likes of Melissa Joan Hart, the Mowry Twins and The Midnight Society.
