It really wasn't until I was in college when I began to write more and more, and I realized I was scheduling my entire life around my writing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In my early twenties, that's when I really began to write. Before that, I was too busy working, keeping myself going.
I started writing after college, slowly, secretly writing.
I didn't start writing until late high school and then I was just diddling. Mainly I loved to read and my writing was an outgrowth of that.
Like so many writers I started writing stories because I didn't have much time for anything else.
I actually never liked writing on my own or in school until I'd had my blog for a while and realized I'd been writing every day for years.
I haven't always been a writer and I suppose I tiptoed around the idea of writing full time, because it's so isolating.
I went to college, but I learned to write by reading - and writing.
I used to have a real passion for writing, but not so much anymore - probably because I do too much of it.
I left my job in the fall, and now I can set my life up around writing instead of squeezing writing into my day; it's amazing to have that time, and I feel very lucky.
Writing, for me, has always been a way of not having a career.
