I want to make writing my career so badly. I have always had a natural apptitude for it as well. There were two instances where I was accused of plagarizing/ having my mom right for me. The first time was in middle school when we had to write a short story (They called my mom in to school to question her!) The second time was in high school and was an essay that was apparently too erudite (pssh please) for my grade level according to my teacher.
Right now, I'm applying to college (I took a year off)... and I've been thinking about majoring in Religious studies/English/Anthropology... but I don't even know ...I just want to have some sort of degree to back me up even though I really feel like skipping it (I do really want to college experience though...otherwise I will become way too much of a hermit and have zero friends...I guess I should have at least one so I don't go completely loony)
If there are any people here making a living from writing or have any general advice it would be greatly appreciated!
