11 Year Old Writer?

  I am not positive about what were my teachers' motives when they assigned me an independent writing project. They simply stated that it was to be any genre of writing, and I can go crazy with creativity.I started writing an autobiography of a fictional character, but it seemed too dull. So now I am writing a narrative story based on the same character, but the narrarator will be me. I am almost done planning, but it seems that it will be quite the story and I am very excited to write it! :D Please answer this question in the comment box if you would like: What is your opinion on young writers?
