Why your first story is the most important one?

This one is really simple to answer. Whether you are new like me or a veteran, your first story possess tremendous value in many forms. The first and most important one is to know how much you can let your imagination go wild, how much you can extend your inner fantasies and put them into words. There is no shame in failing the first time, that's the secon value. It can give you great insight and show you how good or how bad your story telling is! How good or how bad your grammar truly is!

And most importantly, one day in the future you will see your first work with great nostalgia! Maybe the veterans have looked back and said 'Wow, I really wrote horribly back then' or something like that. But that "Horrible" story was the fuse that started it all. If I keep doing fanfictions, I know I will see my first story as a reminder of what started it all for me. Perhaps I will complain to myself that I could have done better... but hey! Who said that the first story must be a hit?

Thanks for reading.
