When I was a child,I was always dreaming that I could be a writer one day.If I could be a writer,I can make every sweet story which I was always looking forward to.You know,there were always lots of bad times or disappointing things existed in our life.But in the book you can avold all of them.Am I a writer now?NO,and never will,but I am very enjoying my life now.

I had a smiilar dream in which i was an author and people would just wait for my next book. The thing is when i actually tried to begin writting i figured out its not nearly as easy as i thought. The thing is for me to make a living i almost need to be writting constantly which would be exhasuting mentally. I would simly run out of ideas and need to get an actualy job. Instead now i hope to follow in the steps of people like Golding who was a teacher and wrote amazing books.

The only requirement to become a writer is to write, write, and write. The many things you will learn in a writing school are all baloney. Writing should not have any rules, provided you are writing for the purposes of aesthetics, not technicalities. Remember, the appreciation of a written work should be spontaneous, not cerebral.
