Writing from the Original Position Behind the Veil of Ignorance
I have been thinking and writing about writing a lot these days. Mostly it has been in response to other articles I have come across which suggest various ways you can become a more popular or successful writer. As is my usual m.o., I have taken some of these articles to task with satirical replies that attempt to illustrate with humor just how ridiculous such advice typically is. An example of one of the satirical pieces and one with a (slightly) more serious tone are linked below to give you a sense.

A Druid and an Elf Walk in a Tavern
The spark of an idea came to me one day when I was working. I had never written for my own enjoyment before, and I found myself imagining the characters my wife and I had played for a Dungeons and Dragons campaign going on adventures of their own. Once I got home, I pulled out the computer and started typing away until I had a full chapter, that I titled “A Druid and an Elf Walk in a Tavern”.

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.

Was the Iron Throne Cursed?
Aegon the Conqueror forged the iron throne each sword he had defeated from his enemies. Over three hundred years ago in this forging of the Iron Throne Aegon was said to have made tis maginifcent throne uncomfortable as a way to remind those in power. Uneasy is the head that wears the crown. Meaning a king should always remember he is still human.

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.

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!)

Feeding the Ducks
I was writing long before I can recall scrawling words with ink. Not on paper but in oral fashion like my ancestors from long ago. I would tell elaborate stories, usually through song, to the trees in our yard or the animals at the barn. As a child, my life was a constant narrated musical of what I was doing, what I wanted, and how I was feeling. So, naturally, the first piece of writing I can remember putting to paper was an echo of a song; a poem.
