August’s IWSG question is - What was your very first piece of writing as an aspiring writer? Where is it now? Collecting dust or has it been published?
I wrote the third place-winning essay for the American Legion Young Citizens Contest when I was in the 10th grade, but my first published piece was a poem for rape victims.
Although I do have a file cabinet that collects dust, and it does have several hand written projects sitting in a file, so yes, a few are collecting dust. So many ideas, so little time! J
I hope you all have a great writing month!

Here are a few words about gardens, to inspire you!
In my garden I spend my days; in my library I spend my nights. My interests are divided between my geraniums and my books. With the flower I am in the present; with the book I am in the past.
~Alexander Smith, "Books and Gardens," Dreamthorp: A Book of Essays Written in the Country, 1863
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.
~Cicero
A garden was the primitive prison, till man with Promethean felicity and boldness, luckily sinned himself out of it.
