A history of (my) writing
The very first story I ever wrote (or that I can remember writing) was a thing called Benny and the Little People. Contrary to what the title might make you believe, it was not about midgets or dwarves or whatever; it was about this kid called Benny (surprisingly) who shrank down to a tiny size (somehow) and met some little people (another surprise).
I was seven. I drew the illustrations myself. I never actually finished it (a habit that has lasted till now).
Probably this story – which was ripped off inspired by who-knows-what – explains why I was so obsessed with The Borrowers series in later years.
