Looking back I should have known all along that I wanted to be a writer. In kindergarten I never wanted to read the books I always wanted to make up my own. I started writing songs when I was in the 3rd grade and poetry by the 6th grade. There should have been a big red flashing neon sign that said "WRITER" but it didn't. I'm 31 about the be 32 and I just figured out last year that I want to be a writer. Who knew? Well I feel like I should have, but I didn't. I wish that I had went to college before I got married and had kids and my life began, but I didn't. I remember the first book I started writing(never finished) I was sitting as the desk of the funeral home I was working at. Yes I went to school to be a funeral director, another story. I started writing on post it notes. My mind was running so fast and to think at that time it still didn't hit me I should be a writer. That was over 10 years ago. I still have those first few chapters that I wrote. I took them out a couple of months ago and read them....eh not half bad.
I kept a journal all during high school and wrote poetry out the ying yang. But the more I think about it I'm glad I got a few years of life under my belt. I can see things in a different perspective than I did 10 years ago.
So here's to writing! Did you always know that you wanted to be a writer?
