I've got a huge file on my computer full of old stories (2 large story lines that together form 2 generations of schoollife in a sf world that also does resemble Harry Potter for a bit, but also it is totally different, and 2 smaller story lines one is a porn/romance and the other one a fantasy story). Also I've got a ringbinder full of handwritten stuff, notes, drawings and the like, even a couple of empty papers and some pens in it. On top of that I have some small notebooks tht also have parts of stories in them.... I've got quite the archive when I think about it. I used to take the ringbinder and the small notebooks everywhere with me, school, holidays, everywhere
I do read back some stuff and sometimes i borrow names from old stories, too bad I won't be able to show you guys some stuff, it's all in dutch. But the story lines weren't bad, the writing was kinda...
One story i started when I was 11/12 and I've been writing till I was 15/16, and I can see how much I've improved back then. I was thinking about maybe rewriting the whole deal, but I'm not really sure
for now, I just like to sometimes look back on it and think about the hours of research I did for some parts
