He worked on it for the next year, but after his buddy Harold Acton said something unfavorable about it, Waugh burned it. In the year 1924, he began writing “The Temple at Thatch”, the first attempt he made as an adult to write full-length fiction. One of which was a future society photographer named Cecil Beaton (someone who never forgot the experience). He was physically pugnacious and incline to bully some of the weaker students. He spent six years at the school, and he felt he was quite clever during this time rarely was he ever distressed or overawed by any of the lessons. He already had many interests by this point, and had already written and finished “The Curse of the Horse Race”, which was his first story that he ever wrote. When he was seven, he was a day pupil at Heath Mount prepatory school. He worked for a short time as a schoolmaster before writing full time. Waugh did not graduate from Oxford, however. He was the son of a publisher, and went to Lancing College and later Hertford College, Oxford. John Waugh was born Octoin London, England, and died Apnear Taunton, Somerset.
