is it me or does everyone want to be a writer/?

I've wanted to be a writer for so long (6/7 years) but haven't written one story.

I think I should write a book before I die, thinking about something for so long is not normal right?

How did you start?

@auag19 It does seem like that, but there are not a lot of people that have the patience for it. The way I start was just typing out my thoughts. Granted, I was 13 when I started, but it's never too late!

I've got a question: In my Creative Writing Class in Junior High I was considered one of the best writers in that class in terms of plot and creativity; however my spelling and grammer is horrid up to this date. Any tips for learning how to spell?

[Taybrian1]

Thanks for watching. If you are having a spelling and grammar problem, (which is normal,) you should consider using a proofreader. If it's an assignment that you can't use one because it's in class, pick through your own work with a fine toothed comb. If all else fails, it's not shameful to get tutoring. I did, and it helps a lot.

@Taybrian1 I 've been thinking about it lately and I think I'll give writing a shot. Sometimes I feel like writhing down my thoughts so that they can stop bothering me. It's much better than telling people what you feel (mostly about other people) because when the situation changes, they see you as a hypocrite.

Everyone here obviously wants to be a writer or do something with writing therefore you should ALL watch Californication. It's not for everyone especially younger people but its a good laugh and it's about this writer that got a good reputation and how it all went down its great.
