Well this is either a great idea or one of those awful ones you think of when you've had a few too many! anyway, i got back a load of my old stuff from my mum's house earlier today, looking through it i found a 'book' that i'd written as a child, must have been 7 or something, and i don't remember writing it, at all. but it's so stupid! the fact that i call my main character 'coss' for starters (short for my surname, but please!!!) hahaha! anyway, i thought i'd share, you're missing the best part though, it's more a picture book, so if you don't follow, just ask, and i'll try and explain it to you...  oh and the point of the thread is if anyone else can find similar things and post them, it'd be quite a sweet and funny thread...
'Coss The Bear' by Simon Cossar, aged about 7
Here comes Coss. He is a bear. He is playing with a ball. It was very hot so he went to Peter Pond.
Peter Pond cooled Coss down but then Coss was wet and Coss was crying.
But then Coss bumped into Anny Acorn Tree. And nuts hit his head. Coss felt very unhappy. He was still wet so he went to Simon Sun.
Coss was dry but now he is sweating. Where now?
Coss went to Whaty Wind and said "can you cool me down?" "OK" said the wind.
But now he is cold so he went home to the fire.
Funny Fire said "hi I'm hot"
Then Coss went to sleep in Ben Bed
The End.
hahaha! i just thought, imagine if i'd known then, as a seven year old, that my story would be re-told over something called 'the internet' to hundreds (or a few) people, by myself, 16 years in the future. mad! 
seriously though, if anyone can find any stories from their childhood, would be lovely to hear them!

very nice story mate.
this is a story from my childhood. i must of been between 5 and 7 or something. all i remember is we had to write a story and underline all the verbs or adjectives, can't remember now.
CRACKER
Once upon a time there was a tiny dog called Cracker who always loved eating newspaper. The owners were worried so they picked it up and went to the Animal Hospital. It had to stay there for a week. One day when they went to visit Cracker they couldn’t find him. They found a vet and said, “Is a dog called Cracker missing”. The vet thought they said “Is a dog called Cracker dead” and he said, “Yes”. “Why didn’t you tell us” they replied. “Because we are ever so busy,” he said. So she put some posters up saying “Lost, a brown and ginger dog. Call 525728 if you have seen it.” A year later and there was still no Cracker but a dog was sent to them with a short letter saying “Sorry about the death of your dog here’s a look a like from Animal Hospital.” But they said “It wasn’t dead it was missing.” Then one day the look a like dog-called Conker met a big rabbit called Lucy. She was so enormous she was three feet taller than Conker. The big rabbit said, “You look like my friend Cracker. We looked for paper for me to make a nice soft bed and for him to eat.” So Conker said “Can I look for paper with you? “Yes,” said the rabbit. So off they went looking for paper.

When I was between 8-12 or so I'd make up stories and tell them to my younger 2 siblings on the long commute from Dayton, OH to my grandparent's in Oshkosh, WI (like 10 hours). The stories were new each time, but the characters remained the same:
Great Grandpa Nicholas was an older African-American chap who had an insatiable love of pancakes and talked with a crazy accent.
Bunny Grundy was a rabbit who needed to have his underpants pulled into a wedgie every Monday or he'd go crazy.
Chico and Ryu Lavage were Colombian druglords who drove around in a car made out of hardened cocaine and were frequently getting very high off of it and/or watching the car go up in flames.
I wish I had written some of the stories down. I do remember writing a couple of things down to scare my little brother. Back then I was intrigued with Twin Peaks and I wrote a series of poems called Fire Walk With Me which included FWWM: Down in the Dungeon, FWWM: Dreams of the Dungeon and one other one. Although the movie had nothing really to do with a dungeon, the words Fire Walk With Me freaked my kid brother out, so I had to incorporate them. |

I remember typing up stories in DOS WordPerfect based on G.I. Joe...I think I was in 4th grade or so. That's when I began to enjoy writing. I don't know if the stories still exist anywhere...I think they were deleted.

My dad has some of my writing from when I was a kid. There is a story I wrote when I was seven about going into outer space with my guinea pig, Sqeaky. At the end of the story I wake up and say "it was all a dream!" Heh.

Don't want to diss your talentuous writing skills, ramona, but I hate stories that end with the main character waking up and realizing it was a dream. That's why I never liked Alice in Wonderland. The only exception I can think of is that movie with Michael Douglas, The Game.

Here is the first part of a story I wrote something like 6 or 7 years ago - unfortunately it's in French.
It's called The sad surfer (the title was clearly inspired by the Pixies).

I keep feeling like people are just looking at screens and web sites all the time, but do they ever do anything? Or go out and say anything to anyone? I'm not so sure anymore. |

Oh my god Simon, that is fuckin' hilarious!!! When we finally meet, you will have to bring that book with you.
This is a very good idea for a topic by the way, I just wish I had some old stories to share, as I was VERY imaginative as a kid (and still am) and generally very good at creative writing.
I'm quite sad that I don't have any now.

Hehehe!!! Now I just read Steve's stories, also brilliant. This is some funny shit guys!!!
By the way Simon, I love the way you called the wind 'Whaty', even better than Funny Fire!!! You obviously didn't know any names beginning with W and F back then.

It's actually a very common way for kids to end stories, we all must have done it at least once.
As for The Game ending like that, I think you need to watch that film again, it's no dream.

I wrote an awfull story when I was around 10 about a girl trapped in a house of nightmares and the house had 13 doors and everytime she went to sleep in her dream she'd open one of the doors and each room got worse and worse.. there were zombies mummies giant spiders and spooky ghosts. On the last night she opened the door stepped through and plummeted off a cliff to a grisly death.

It's annoyed many people that the ending of the movie version of "The Wizard of Oz" is a dream. It wasn't that way in the book.
I probably have some stuff I wrote around somewhere, but I don't have any of it handy right now. I know I loved the Winnie-the-Pooh stories as a kid, and I made a few little picture books with the Pooh characters. And just recently, I was remembering how I decided that Pooh's father was a giant bear named Beartish who lived on the sun, and grew a foot every year. I never actually wrote anything about Beartish, though.
