For me, being a writer was never a choice. I was born one. All through my childhood I wrote short stories and stuffed them in drawers. I wrote on everything. I didn't do my homework so I could write.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had to wait for a long time before I could support myself with writing. However, being a writer is what I have most wanted to be, from the time I was a child.
I'd always liked to write, but I never wanted to be a writer, because it seemed a sissy occupation. It is. To this day, I find it terribly easy. And so, rather than trying to hunt up a text, I just wrote one.
I wrote as a kid, but I never wanted to be a writer, particularly. I had been drawing and painting for years and loved that.
Writing happened to me. I didn't decide to start writing or to be a writer. I never wanted to be a writer.
I would always get a lot of work as a writer, but that wasn't what I wanted to be. For me, I was only doing half of what I really wanted to do - write and direct.
In retrospect, it seems like everything in my life led to me becoming a writer. I just didn't realise it at the time.
I always liked to write and had fun writing, but I didn't have any pretensions about being a writer. I liked to read and liked to putz around and write little stories or poems, but my thing was sports.
I was always meant to be a writer. I've felt that way since I was a child.
I never even dreamt of being a writer because I didn't feel allowed. When I was a child I was terribly ambitious, but I didn't know at all what this great thing would become.
I was never born to write. I was taught to write. And I am still being taught to write.
