During elementary school, most of my writings were actually rewriting stories. In class we would read a story, then after, we were supposed to rewrite what we remembered from the story. I suppose this exercise increased our reading comprehension and aided our grammar skills. I also remember stapled phamlets that had statements at the beginnning and we were to finish with a story, such as: "If I were a bird..." I also wrote letters to my mom and dad. At the time, I thought they were letters, but most of them just said "I love you." I wrote in a diary once in a while. I never stuck with writing in a diary all the time though. I would write for a week then forget the next week and eventually pick back up a month later.
I do not think writing is a hard task. I think the idea of writing is actually harder than the task itself. When I have a paper due, my initial thoughts are negative, but when I actually sit down and begin, t is not a hard task at all. I had a journalism and college writing course in high school which helped a great deal when I started college. In high school I was on the school newspaper, but I mostly did polls and managed the quote of the day (the paper was on the internet.)
