Quote

I've basically thought of myself as a writer, whether I was or not.

I had thought of writing, actually, and that later on I'd be a novelist.

I don't think I knew I would be a writer. I wanted to become a writer, and I tried to write.

I always felt that I was a writer, that was what I had to do.

I really wanted to be a writer.

I just knew I would be a writer. It just seemed the only sensible thing to do.

I pretty much always wanted to be a writer.

I can't say that I ever actually decided to become a writer. It kind of snuck up on me.

I always just wanted to be a writer, not necessarily a particular kind of writer.

I'm not sure if I always wanted to be a writer, but I was always writing.
