Sorry about that, Thank you for your explanation!!
Belated, but yes, what sceptilemaster says about word count is true, however being able to do that comes with practice and knowing how to manipulate language.

Regardless, give it another go; perhaps just write up the scene that introduces your main character and then come back. and tweak your character stats a bit. 12 is just too young for the kind of backstory you're suggesting; it makes readers want to roll their eyes as it's just not believable.
