When I was younger, and I mean like elementary school, I always loved writing. I love writing, I really do... when I can get a good story flowing, I can't stop.
I type up to 120 words a minute if I'm inspired, so it's not difficult for me either.
the only problem is... I like writing fiction... and it's so difficult to get a book published. I've tried to kid myself into thinking that I want to program...
I don't. I love games, but I hate programming. What I love to do is write. I'm an English freak 100% and I can't change myself.
so I have to get a career in writing. Whether I just write a huge book and hope it gets published, or I become the story/script writer for a gaming company... I have to do something in writing.
yeah, don't ask me why I'm announcing this. |

Awesome. Now you have to take rigorous English and literature courses that will rock you brain off. |

Digibutter actually helped me 
I posted like a few paragraphs of a story, and I get all these "KEEP GOING" and "GOOD JOB" comments.
I'll start later... but whatever.
by the way, I haven't taken an AP class since 8th grade, so I'm screwed over on that... |

... Well, to be honest... writing's my thing, too, but I absolutely HATE having to write about forced topics, which are often boring and don't really make full use of my creative energies. I love the freedom of writing whatever I want, which happens to be fiction. |

My thoughts exactly.
English classes are so below me... so I just pick the class with the least homework. It's ridiculous, really. And the stupid assignments... "Let's analyze this poem for ten weeks! IT'S FOR A GRADE!"
bleh. |

Another future starving artist.
Welcome to the club. If you don't get noticed, you'll be eating your manuscripts. I'll be eating my portfolio. Mmm, leather. |

Life's difficult.
I can always beg for food and shelter from Josh, the thriving video game programmer and nano-technologist. |

I'll bum money off my friends in pre-engineering and business/finance. And maybe force them to get me odd jobs. |

I enjoy writing but I'm not really a Fanfic person which is why I don't really post any here. I'm looking for a career perhaps in the area of gaming journalism though I haven't decided yet. |

I love writing too... It's either that, a career in a video game company, or a post as a band teacher.  |

Don't worry, I've had my mind set on it for a couple years now. I WILL make it happen, or die trying! [/cliche line] |

I'm a talented writer, but I don't like using my talents. I can sing, but nobody but my mom and my dad knows that. I also really wanna be a lawyer some day. No, I'm not going to be friends with a dead person. Or have spiky hair. |

I [/HATE] writing on forced topics >_<;
Like essays or something. I just ignore them and don't turn them in because damn, writing on something SO STUPID makes me feel RETARDED. ( I always get those bad topics... like THE SHOE ON THE WINDOW. and yes, it was actually on a state test >.<; ) |
