I'm not sure if I always wanted to be a writer, but I was always writing.

I always wanted to be a writer.

I pretty much always wanted to be a writer.

I always wanted to be a writer, and I did want to be a novelist. In college I took a couple of classes that taught me I would never be a novelist. I discovered I had no imagination. My short stories were always thinly veiled memoir.
