I feel like a very lucky person. From the time I was young, I had a dream of becoming a writer. Now that dream has come true, and I am able to make my living doing something I really love.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just feel really fortunate to build a career as a writer.
I had this dream to become a writer since I was a teenager.
I knew from the age of 16 that I wanted to be a writer because I just didn't think I could do anything else. So I read and read and wrote short stories and dreamed of escape.
In retrospect, it seems like everything in my life led to me becoming a writer. I just didn't realise it at the time.
I am very fortunate in that I have spent pretty much my whole life being a writer, and before I was a writer, I was a storyteller.
What's lucky about my career in general is that I stumbled into what every writer most wants. Not repeating myself and doing strange things has become my trademark.
When I was about 14 or 15 I decided to become a writer and never for a moment since have I wanted to do anything else.
If you think about becoming a writer, that's just really one of the big dreams I had. It's really important to have those dreams and pursue your passions.
I was always meant to be a writer. I've felt that way since I was a child.
I never even dreamt of being a writer because I didn't feel allowed. When I was a child I was terribly ambitious, but I didn't know at all what this great thing would become.
