In my youth I dreamed of being an illustrator.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was quite young, I dreamed of being a painter.
I wanted to become an illustrator as a child.
One of my first dreams when I was a child was becoming a painter.
I grew up wanting only to be an illustrator. I studied art at Laurel School in Cleveland and at Smith College.
As the years went by I became a writer and illustrator, although exclusively of fantasies.
By the time I was a teenager, I knew I wanted to be an artist. I was a born draftsman and liked all forms of art, so I just knew that's what I wanted to do.
When I was young, all I wanted was to write books and be an artist.
I wanted to become a cartoon artist, a portrait artist, and an illustrator. This was my first idea.
When I was growing up, I dreamed about becoming a cowgirl, a detective, a spy, a great actress, or a ballerina. Not a dentist, like my father, or a homemaker, like my mother - and certainly not a writer, although I always loved to read.
I had this dream to become a writer since I was a teenager.
