What do you mean...

Submitted by sk8ergrl on May 6, 2008 - 17:57.

What do you mean when you say how long have you been writing? Like here at YWP or like in your life?? Also does it have to be good writing...or if like you wrote a couple words in pre-school would it count? Sorry, I probably sound OCD but I want to put down the right answer.

I created this poll, so I'll answer:
I mean in your whole life. Also, I don't mean mature writing, or good writing, just any writing. Preschool scribblings might count, but only if you kept writing consistently since. Hope that clears it up...
Also, though, it doesn't really matter what I think, because you can interpret this any way you want.
