On Writing

Writing used to come so easy to me. To wit, check out this story from 2nd grade (one of a 3-part series on killers):

The Serial Killer

One day there was a person named Dan Luthor. He was walking down the street and suddenly out of nowhere someone killed him by shooting him. Then one day the same person killed the president and then the next day he killed the mayor. They had been after him for a year. He kept on killing more and more people. In the next 5 days he killed over 50 people. Then one day he shot 100 people. But then a very good police officer went over to his house and blew it up but he wasn't inside. Then the next day someone saw him unarmored and shot and killed him.
