Well, my background is journalism. I don't have any creative-writing experience except for one class I took as a sophomore in college.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was an A student and I liked creative writing.
My first real writing job was at 'Rolling Stone,' so I wrote about rock-and-roll and politics and the like. At the time, I really didn't know what I wanted to write, and I did a bunch of investigative journalism.
I took an MA course in creative writing a couple of years back, and I was definitely in the bottom of the class.
I went to college, though I didn't take many writing courses.
I love teaching creative writing, and I think I'm good at it, but in a different life, I could have been teaching elementary school.
I took a lot of writing courses.
I never considered writing as a career - it was always a creative outlet for me and something I just loved to do.
I've always been a writer because I've always been a student. My mom's a retired professor, so I come from a very academic background. I love writing, you know?
I was an English major in college, took a ton of creative writing courses, and was a newspaper reporter for 10 years.
I've always enjoyed writing, I graduated with a degree in English; I've done bits of journalism.
