Answer:
In the Dasmarinas neighborhood where I grew up, there were a ton of kids very close to me in age. At the end of my time in 3rd Grade a group of the neighborhood kids gathered at the end of the block and whimsically decided to put on a Summer play. No one had a good idea of what to do for the play, so one of the kids said “Karen can write a new play for us.” I was surprised to have the task dumped upon me, but was too young and naive to understand exactly what I was agreeing to do. I decided writing a play couldn’t be all that hard. Right?
The end result?
A very clumsy, goofy, strange little play about a farm girl who ran away from an abusive mother to the big city where she found love, happiness, fame and fortune. Considering my own story living with an abusive mother, I had a lot of experience to draw from. Yes, we put on the play for the neighborhood back yard using her mother’s largest bed sheet as a curtain. All of the kids dragged odds and ends from their homes, with or without parental permission, and the show went on. It opened late, most of the kids forgot the lines I clumsily wrote for them and at points the kids would fall down laughing in the middle of the scenes. I really didn’t care. I had so much fun writing a little play I never forgot the experience. By the time I was in 6th grade, my English teacher, who told my parents I had a very special natural gift for writing, drafted me to help put out a very amateur version of a grade school newspaper. Since I was in the grade school band, I covered the music beat and wrote about band appearances, new music we were learning and the life as a band member who had to practice all the time. In the 8th grade my new English teacher had me writing lots of special assignments she submitted to various writing competitions in the area. I won a few of the competitions and my teacher encouraged me to continue to write every day of my life. By high school I was writing for the newspaper, the yearbook and anything else I had time in my busy schedule to squeeze in. I also was writing in journals, notebooks an scrapbooks, which I still have to this day. My writing continued all through college for all sort of venues ranging from the newspaper to work for my sorority.
