We have this habit of romanticizing the lives of writers. I remember when I was a kid, I was like, 'I want to be Kurt Vonnegut.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I went through a big Kurt Vonnegut phase. But the writers who made me decide at a very early age that this is probably something I wanted to do were Stephen King and Douglas Adams, when I was probably, like, ten years old.
I always knew I wanted to be a writer.
I always wanted to be a writer.
I pretty much always wanted to be a writer.
I wanted to be a novelist for so long.
As long as I can remember, I wanted to be a writer.
I was always meant to be a writer. I've felt that way since I was a child.
I was always attracted and repelled by the idea of being a writer.
I wanted nothing less than to be a fiction writer when I was a kid. If you had told me I would be an artist or novelist when I grew up, I would have laughed in your face.
So many people romanticize writing. And I get it. But I never once wanted to be a writer.
