Since I was little I loved to read books. When I grew older I learned how to write and I liked it. At the age of 11 I wrote my first own story, which was rather a short story. I invented the story and I was really proud of it. It was a kind of thriller and even interesting to read. Unfortunately, my story got lost over the years. I wish I could read it again.
But anyway, at that time, I wanted to be a writer because I liked the thought of creating my own stories and characters instead of just reading about them. I wanted to control my character's destiny and my own plot, just as I did when writing my short story.
Now I don't want to be a writer anymore since I think that in today's world it is hard to earn enough money with writing stories or novels, that is unless you are really lucky and invent some fictional story as Rowling did with Harry Potter. Her success is of course an exception in the writing world and I don't want to earn as much money as she does. But still there definitely are enough writers out there who can't sell their books.
Nevertheless, I still like writing.. but I have never written anything again.. Probably I should start to do that in the near future. Just for me and for fun.
Maybe I will work at a publishing house after I'm done studying.
We will see what the future brings..
