To now address the first bit: the problem is, I really WANT to be a writer. I've really wanted to be a writer since I was ten or so. I've got notebooks and notebooks from when I was younger full of bad poetry and odd story fragments, but I never got beyond the fragments.

But then, I also wanted to be an animator in high school. I wanted to be a webcomic artist. I wanted too many things, I suppose.

I guess when I'm at home, I should go through the old story fragments and see if there is anything worthwhile.
