Magic Helicopter

I've been making up stories since before I could write. My mom has saved a few of my pictures from back then, where she'd write the stories for me while I narrated what the pictures were about.

Some of the stories were pretty damn cool.

Yes, those scribbles are what the pictures I'm talking about look like. From what I can tell, I've been drawing since I could hold a crayon and telling stories since I could talk. The helicopter story is the only one I can recall off the top of my head. It's a series of tangled scribbled on a massive sheet of paper, and the story is about a girl with a helicopter who gets lost in the woods, but everything is okay because her helicopter is powered by magic so she leaves anyways when she gets tired of walking.
