BillytheIdiot
My proudest work is strange and unusual, but it is what started my love for wrtiting. When I was about 10 years old, I created a chracter called Billytheidiot. I sucked at drawing when I was young; wait, I STILL suck at drawing, so BillytheIdiot was simply just a stick figure. I made a "comic" series on him and would make a bunch of stories of his adventures. Billy was an alien from another planet who was sent to Earth when he was a baby. You know, the whole Superman origin. Billy was strong, could fly and had powers, however he was just plain dumb. I created an entire character along with back stories, friends, and villains. Ever since then, I just really enjoyed creating stories. I look back on it and yes, "BillytheIdiot" is just my childhood imagination going nuts, but I remember how much I LOVED making them and sharing the stories with my friends. Today I still have my old line paper drawings and stories of Billy, even gone as far as making a short minute animation on him when I was in college. BilytheIdiot is my orgin of writing and even though the name may seem childish or dumb, I'm very proud that little ol' 10 year old me had that kind of imagination.
