I made straight A's and never got into any trouble, and I still impose those standards on myself. So writing is my chance to escape and become the sleaziest, scummiest role.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.
I always just wanted to be a writer, not necessarily a particular kind of writer.
Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
I'm not sure if I always wanted to be a writer, but I was always writing.
I can't say that I ever actually decided to become a writer. It kind of snuck up on me.
I've wanted to be a writer since I was a boy, though it seemed an unlikely outcome since I showed no real talent. But I persevered and eventually found my own row to hoe. Ignorance of other writers' work keeps me from discouragement and I am less well-read than the average bus driver.
When writing isn't going well-then the bad thing about being a writer is that I also have the freedom and flexibility to do something badly, and no one else can fix it for me.
I pretty much always wanted to be a writer.
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 think the crucial thing in the writing career is to find what you want to do and how you fit in. What somebody else does is of no concern whatever except as an interesting variation.
