I suppose I started writing seriously at 16 years old. I thought I wrote a novel at 16 and sent it to New York! They sent it back because it wasn't novel.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I started writing seriously when I was a teenager, around 14 years old.
I think I was 16 when I had the thought of maybe being a writer. And this is complicated, something I only now understand, because when I was young, having dyslexia and not knowing it made reading such an ordeal.
I started writing when I was about thirteen.
I started writing at the age of seventeen because I had a teacher in high school who said that we had to get something accepted by a national magazine to get an A. The teacher later withdrew that threat, but the writing bug bit me.
Well, I always wanted to write from the time I was very little, and my mother encouraged me. She wrote a journal from the time she was 15 up until about the age of 76.
It took me sixteen years to write.
I've been writing since I was 19.
I started writing when I was twenty, and my first book came out seventeen years later.
I started writing seriously when I was 18, wrote my first novel when I was 22, and I've never stopped writing since.
I wrote my first book at 20, but my whole focus from about the age of 12 was to be a writer.
