They knew exactly where they were headed and how to get there. They were going to become architects and math professors and nurses and dance instructors. When I went off to college, I really envied my friends who had their career paths all figured out. At various points I wanted to be an actress, a teacher, a professor, a lawyer, a doctor, a therapist…I cycled through an extensive list on a regular basis, but always came back to teaching. I changed my mind so many times about what I hoped to be when I grew up. It never seemed like a real career path that someone like me could have. But I never really considered the possibility that I might be able to write a book and become a writer myself. I loved books and reading more than just about anything-it was how I spent most of my free time.
Growing up, I didn’t know anyone who was an actual writer.
