In class we were put in groups and told to write a story using a vocab word. The story which was created was fairly stupid, but our word, slew, gave me an idea. A slew of papers on my desk, each holds a story. I made a suggestion having to do with this thought, but was quickly turned down. I liked my idea, though, so I chose to write this.

Each story mentioned is a real story I began writing.
They go from most recent to longest time ago.
Although none of these stories were finished, and I pretty much just threw them away, I will remember how they affected my writing. The failures are necessary, you must learn from them in order to succeed.
