I dreamt of being a writer once I started to read. I started to write 'Bonjour Tristesse' in bistros around the Sorbonne. I finished it, I sent it to editors. It was accepted.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I had this dream to become a writer since I was a teenager.
My dream was, and always had been, to write a book. To be a writer.
