When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Daily writing prompt
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a writer, believe it or not. I guess I have a one-track mind.

When I was between the ages of five and ten I was writing short stories starring Slimer (from Ghost Busters)🀣. It was called The Adventures of Slimer, or something like that.

I also wrote about a girl and her unicorn. LOL.

It wasn’t until high school that the hormones took over my brain and I turned to writing romance. Decades later those same hormones still haven’t released me from their grip. Hahaha! Maybe one day they will, then again, judging by the older women in my family, it might be a foregone conclusion… 😲

  2. I don’t understand the chemistry or biology of it all, but I do know that you have captured the heart of this reader, so whatever is happening behind-the-scenes hormonally or otherwise just please keep doing it because your writing is amazing

    i’m trying to think back on my frame of reference, maybe E.T.?? I wasn’t and still not a big fan of sci-fi or anything but I guess it was my first attempt at the genre πŸ˜… πŸ˜‹

  18. Love the ideas you had when you was younger.

    As for me, I can’t remember. Or I didn’t have any ideas what I wanted to be at 5 or at another younger age. It only came about a year before leaving school and after.
