I was an English major in college, took a ton of creative writing courses, and was a newspaper reporter for 10 years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always enjoyed writing, I graduated with a degree in English; I've done bits of journalism.
I always wanted to be some kind of writer or newspaper reporter. But after college... I did other things.
I held a variety of jobs - most notably ten years working in universities - and kept on writing.
I didn't do a masters in creative writing until I was 26, which is quite old, and then I found myself in New York and I needed money, so I started working full time as an editor.
I spent 20 years of my career primarily being a writer for hire.
I graduated with an English degree and worked for awhile in academic publishing.
I've always been a writer, and in high school, I was the editor of my school newspaper and I got a writing scholarship. It's always been a passion of mine.
After university, I got a job sub-editing and for years I was a literary editor.
Well, my background is journalism. I don't have any creative-writing experience except for one class I took as a sophomore in college.
I went to college, though I didn't take many writing courses.
