Relic #3 - Wordstar Masterpiece

Before Microsoft Word, there was already Wordstar. Before the inkjet printer, there was the dot matrix. Before I even began blogging, I wrote novels.

This is my first attempt in writing a novel. I typed this in Wordstar and printed it in a dot matrix printer. I remember that I was 13 years old when I wrote this. It was a pathetic story about a girl who lost her parents and who found out that she was in love with her bestfriend who had cancer.

I tried to read it again, but everytime I turn the page, I cringe at my choice of words and my horrible grammar. The worst part is that the story itself was not something that I could be proud of. Oh the horror!

So I decided to throw it away. I don't want anybody to see it. They might lose their respect for me. As much as it hurts to see it in the trash can, I know that my dreams are still with me. And I could be a better author now that I am all grown up.
