When did you first feel like a writer?

I still don't have any feel like a writer yet.May be what i write is little .But i want to be a writer in the future.I also want to get paid via write something . I believe i can write some good thing and get cash :)

First noticed I had an interest in writing when in college. The professor told me I had a wild imagination. I do not consider myself a writer even though I've written a few very small articles for Hubpages.com. I can't always express my feelings on paper, so to speak. In other words, I can tell a funny or crazy story much better than actually writing about a story or event. I consider myself a novice but enjoy practicing my limited skills on myLot.

I've been writing since middle school. I've been pretty okay since the late 1970's. I've been blocked since 1998...

I suppose the first time I felt like a writer was when I wrote a fanfic and someone commented that they liked it. However now I feel like a writer when an article of mine gets picked on Helium marketplace, or on Constant Content, or when I get approved for Upfront on Associated Content or when people comment on my blogs. Am I a great writer? Nah. But sometimes I feel like one ^^. I'm a writer at heart.

when i wrote my first novel and self-published it on lulu.com, the whole process was long, a lot of work and stressful. when i finished it, i felt accomplished, confident and powerful. plus, many people i know have told me that they liked my writing style and they think my writing is entertaining. that was encouragement for me to continue and just do it. and when many people who don't even know each other kept saying the same thing, i took it as a sign that this is it for me. and i went for it.

I have written two books, both as yet unpublished, and writing has become a compulsion that can't be denied. In my own mind I am a writer, but I don't feel comfortable admitting it to others. Perhaps I need to prove to myself that I am worthy of the title. Proof positive? Publication.

I can write and two of my short stories have been published in the magazines too.But I am lazy.I have to start to finish.Once I start writing words come and fall into places.

I felt like a writer when I started to write stories in my teens and before that. Now I did not get published, they were mainly for my amusement and I could not afford a typewriter, but I did not become a serious writer until about fifteen or so years ago. Then I decided to buy books on writing and decided to find out the mechanics about writing, that is, double spacing everything I write, and follow the manuscript formats,etc. I have always used times or courier or typewritten format, and I never used fancy colored paper. I do not feel like an author though because I am still working on my novel.

The first time that I felt like a writer is when I was in grade three. I'm ten years old then. Our teacher put up some pictures in the blac board and asked us to make a story using those pictures. I wrote one and she liked it very much. That boosted my confidence with my writing skills. And when she showed what I've written to other teachers in our school, they liked it too.

I think that I first felt like a writer, when I actually realized that I could make a living doing this...not a great living, but a living.

I guess it started when I first saw the Lord of the Rings, my all-time favorite movies/books. Everything about it intrigued me so much, that I wanted more. I was in fourth grade, so the movies were about the limit, though. I wanted it to go on, I wanted more things to happen the way I wanted them to happen. Soon, I decided that the only way that I was going to be able to get all that was by writing it myself. I guess it wasn't until I started writing and began a "book" with my cousin that I really thought of myself as a writer. I loved being in control of the plot and characters and to have whatever I wanted happen. I don't think there is actual levels of writing, but it seems to grow with me. I'm not that good, but others insist that I am, so I don't really know where I am now.

I've been writing stories since I was four. When I was 16 I won a school prize for my review of Shakepspeare's Henry V. My science fiction novels kept getting rejected but I did win a prize in an international competition, and to my great relief a historical romance novel finally got published in 2004. www.letterfrompoitou.co.uk

I started writting as a kid. I had some trouble in school. I had a speach impediment and got teased bythe other kids when I did try to read out loud. The teacher wouldn't take pitty on me and just skip me like I asked her too. My Mom worked hard with me to get the reading thing done. It all became better after I went to a speach therapist. Anyway, after that I fell in love with books and writting. The thing that helped me along was the Laura Ingles Wilder books. I love those books as a kid, and I still do. After that, I took to writting like a duck takes to water. I was also homeschooled, so the only thing I had to work with was books. So, most everything I know and do is self taught.
