Okay, so I looked back at some of my writing from when I was 12, and it's pretty bad and I kind of want to share some of it (add your own if you want. The cringier, the better)

"So can you guess what she did? She didn’t go. The next night she got a phone call, and guess who it was from? The person that has told her to go to the house. “Do you think this is a joke? It sure isn’t funny. I am dead serious. You will be sorry. Come to the house I told you to come to last night tonight. Now. And I mean it. Don’t bring anyone. If you try to have someone follow you, I will personally see to their death. Just like what happened to your mother. You won’t like it. And don’t think of taking your little sister unless you want her killed.”"
I haven't even gone into the really bad stuff yet

"“Don’t laugh at me,” she exclaimed.
I laughed harder. “With a face like that, what do you expect me to do?”
“Joey,” my father said, taking off his mask.
The girl gasps. “Dad?” she asked. “Dad! We thought you were dead!” She ran toward him, and I smirked at the look of horror on his face.
“Wait!” he said. “I’m not your father.”"

"Basically, Dad’s identical twin left, leaving me and his kid standing awkwardly in the living room.
“Sorry about that,” he said.
“Um, okay, but who are you?”
“I’m Joey. You must be Laine. You speak French, right?”"
I hate that I can tell exactly what books I was reading at the time based on the page long chapters and perspective changes

"Once upon a time there was a Pikachu, a Bulbasaur, a Squirtle and a Charmander. They were all playing happily at the time, and they had no idea what would happen.
Then one evening, as they were going to sleep, they heard a stick crack, then footsteps getting farther and farther away. Pikachu said ( in Pikachu language), “ That must of been a wild Pokemon.” The others agreed. They thought they knew what the sound was. But they were as far away from being right as the ground to the sky. And this time, being wrong led to trouble"

This was apparently a thing I wrote in third grade when I was in my major Pokemon phase and wow

"He got a faraway look in his eyes, then seemed to shake himself and answered, “My father did a lot of research on you.”"
Uhh that's not cute, mini-Pickles

Terror

I should mention that they're cousins and she just got done describing his naturally tousled hair and "startling" blue-green eyes (you can tell I read that in a book somewhere) and how he looked almost exactly like her

So the highlight of my Pokemon thing was the title
I called it
Ready for this?

Pokemon: Before Episode 1

SNEEZE
MINI-ASH IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?

SOL

@RedTheLoveless

(Following this as well. All of my filled writing journals are at my mountain home, so yall won't really get that gold. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I carry a flash drive with me of which I stored some real cringe-inducing things.)

@SpookyScarySnoteleks group

Oh no
That fourth grade writing assignment to write a story from the perspective of a pumpkin
Well then this'll be good

The opening part:
"I am Alex the pumpkin, and I have no eyes, no mouth, and no face. I hope to be carved by a professional, and to be preserved and sold. Currently, I’m surrounded by my distant relatives, sitting motionless, waiting to be carved."

This is gold, y'all

@Althalosian-is-the-father book

Jeez I wish I had something good to add.
All I remember was my first ever Althaos.
No wait.
Draft one.
Jeez.
A character named Dominic defeats a gReAt eViL!!1! That is a fusion of a dragon, wasp, mosquito, scorpion, fly, wolf and scarab beetle. With a fire lightsaber.

O god! I wrote this in seventh grade! AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! You can tell I was super into the Percy Jackson stuff.

I was never normal. Never was, never will be but let's start with the basics. I am a Graco that means that my ancestors helped one of the Greek gods and as a thank you they gave them and the rest of my family line a super power. I am Alexandra and I have the power of invisibility. “How?” You ask, well my ancestors were good healers and they saved one of the sons of Ares ( the god of war) and he gave us invisibility.

(Honey how would you know!)
