I learned to read very young. I remember reading fairy tales in kindergarten. I do not remember my first book, or my first adult book. I remember the first "big kids book" I got out of the school library. It was Tarzan of the Apes. I count my first "story" (definately not the first thing I've written, nor the first thing I finished that wasn't a school assignment, because I never finished it, but it's a first anyway, because it was the one that made me figure out that I liked writing stories), as "The Young Warriors" technically a Star Wars fanfic, written when I was about 12. I've started typing it up, and what I've transcribed so far is posted on my webpage.
