So I loved writing, but by the time I was a teenager and a college student, I think I almost had like a sort of a dismissive attitude toward it.
Like, oh, that's just a hobby.
Or, oh, that's, I don't know.
I don't think I consciously dismissed it, but I did have this dismissive attitude.
And it wasn't until I graduated from college with like no skills at all.
But I started writing again kind of seriously and thought like, oh, is this a thing people could actually do full time?
And I went back to it.
What had you studied at college?
Oh, God.
I mean, I was really, I barely graduated because I kept changing my course of study.
I majored in everything.
And in the end, yeah, really, no, it's really true.
And I try to tell this story a lot to my own students because I think there is this sense of like, you should have it all figured out.
And I'm like, I'm a really good example of someone who did not have it all figured out and still maybe does not have quite a lot figured out.
But in college, I think I was an American Studies major.
an art major, but I couldn't draw, so that didn't last.
I considered being a theater studies major.
I might have considered being a French major, but I was really bad at French.
I ruled out being an English major because there's too much reading.
And I ended up something called a literature major, which is such a questionable program of study because it was only literary theory and not actual literature that I think that they have phased it out as kind of an embarrassment to the university.
