Why can't I write like I draw?

I have always liked writing. The first things I wrote were "Roses are red/Violets are blue" poems like the ones I'd seen in Bugs Bunny cartoons. I wrote stories about a rabbit named Alice, who was a being very different from me that I was afraid I was. I wrote tons of stories that I never finished, getting lost in my own plot by page twenty--always page 20--in the same way I got lost in my own school.
