I think young writers should get other degrees first, social sciences, arts degrees or even business degrees. What you learn is research skills, a necessity because a lot of writing is about trying to find information.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You should constantly write because your writing is always evolving and progressing. It's really important to start writing young.
Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
I always encourage people in the early parts of their career to focus on writing. If you can communicate clearly, if you can articulate a thought, if you can write a great story, then you're going to be successful.
A writer should get as much education as possible, but just going to school is not enough; if it were, all owners of doctorates would be inspired writers.
There's a lot of young authors out there, and people do seem to forget: in order to write well, you do need to have some experience.
Most of the basic material a writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen.
You can't be too old to be a writer, but you can definitely be too young!
I think the crucial thing in the writing career is to find what you want to do and how you fit in. What somebody else does is of no concern whatever except as an interesting variation.
Early on, it's good to develop the ability to write. Learning to write is a useful exercise, even if what you're writing about is not that relevant.
You don't make a decision about being a writer. There was a point, aged 21, when it became clear that this is who I am. The choice is how good you are going to be at it and how hard you are going to work.
