I was never forced to write. At least, I was never forced or even encouraged to write fiction. Creative writing wasn't in the curriculum at my school when I was in sixth grade.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I tried writing fiction as a little kid, but had a teacher humiliate me, so didn't write again until I was a senior in college.
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.
I was never born to write. I was taught to write. And I am still being taught to write.
I never wanted to be a writer. I still don't.
Writing is an incredibly creatively empowering experience for me. It is the place where nobody tries to control what I'm doing.
When I was young, I never thought I was going to be a writer! I was academically orientated and active at sports, but I didn't have one creative bone in my body.
I was always meant to be a writer. I've felt that way since I was a child.
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.
Although I always loved reading and putting words on paper, I never thought about becoming a writer until I was twelve.
I wrote fiction during my entire childhood, from age 4 to 18, and started writing plays when I went to Yale and Oxford.
