Go ahead and slap me, but I'm gonna slap you right back.
I've been creating stories since before I could write. Of course I wasn't actually 'writing' them, I was drawing pictures and then reciting the words to my parents so they could write them down. I actually rushed into learning to write around age four or so so that I could finally write down the stories myself. Of course these were very short and simple stories...I was four. But they were far more elaborate in my head. In kindergarden and first grade, we all had these "journal" things where we were supposed to write about our day...I just used it to write stories and would get mad because the space we had to write was extremely small and I could never finish them. xD
So yeah, some people DO start writing stories the moment they learn how to form words on paper. I honestly don't understand how that's weird or unbelievable. There are lots of people who start drawing from a very early age so writing isn't that different.
Since then I've never stopped. I'm kind of on the extreme end of the scale where creating and writing stories is my lifelong obsession/passion/what have you, and when I care about something, I really care about it. Always been that way.
