Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I don't remember the title, but it was a short for a junior high English class. It was a story of a soldier sacrificing himself to save his comrades. My teacher, Mrs. Sheridan, kept it because she liked it so well and encouraged me to in writing. I also had her for m high school senior English class and she had me write shorts for her that she kept as teaching guides. She is retired now, but she still used them when my brother went through 6 years later. She was instrumental to my writing and having the belief in myself to do so.
