I was writing from the time I was 12 years old, but I originally wanted to be a novelist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Although I always loved reading and putting words on paper, I never thought about becoming a writer until I was twelve.
From age 7 on, I wanted to be a writer.
I've been writing since I was really young, so I considered myself a writer for a really long time.
I wanted to be a writer since I was in high school, but I never thought it was possible.
I'm not sure if I always wanted to be a writer, but I was always writing.
The first time I can remember thinking that I would like to be a writer came in sixth grade, when our teacher Mrs. Crandall gave us an extended period of time to write a long story. I loved doing it. I started working seriously at becoming a writer when I was seventeen.
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 kind of an outsider growing up, and I preferred reading to being with other kids. When I was about seven, I started to write my own books. I never thought of myself as wanting to be a writer - I just was one.
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.
I wrote my first book at 20, but my whole focus from about the age of 12 was to be a writer.
