Well, I had this little notion - I started writing when I was eleven, writing poetry. I was passionately addicted to it; it was my great refuge through adolescence.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Although I always loved reading and putting words on paper, I never thought about becoming a writer until I was twelve.
When I was about 14 or 15 I decided to become a writer and never for a moment since have I wanted to do anything else.
I liked to write from the time I was about 12 or 13. I loved to read. And since I only spoke to my brother, I would write down my thoughts. And I think I wrote some of the worst poetry west of the Rockies. But by the time I was in my 20s, I found myself writing little essays and more poetry - writing at writing.
I've been writing poems and stories since I was about 13.
I started writing when I was about thirteen.
In my late teenage years, I developed a real passion for it, and wrote a lot of poetry.
Since the age of 11, I have loved writing poems and fragments from my life.
I started out in life as a poet; I was only writing poetry all through my 20s. It wasn't until I was about 30 that I got serious about writing prose. While I was writing poems, I would often divert myself by reading detective novels; I liked them.
I started writing while I was a little boy. Maybe it's because I was reading a lot of books I admired, and thought that I would like to write something like that someday. Also, my love for good writing pushed me.
I was completely devoted to reading and books from the age of seven. It took until I was 18 to have the confidence to write poetry.
