This is a surprise to me.
Most writers say they've always known they wanted to write.
Guess that makes me odd. The idea of becoming a writer never occurred to me until the middle of my life. And when it did occur to me, when I tried to write some stuff, I soon realized how truly awful my writing was. I quickly enrolled in the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies Program at Hamline University . The professors in the MALS writing courses were a kind and patient lot.
