When you write, do you write the story you want to write or do you write what you think will sell? I’ve been a poet much longer than a novelist, although writing prose is my ‘mania’ at present. The first ‘proper’ thing I got published was an article in a learned educational journal (I’m an English teacher), but I reckon it was when I started getting poems accepted fairly regularly by magazines that I tentatively started to think of myself as a writer. Well, I suppose what you’re getting at here is not me as a snotty-nosed teenager giving myself literary graces and ambitions (as we all did, I suppose) but when I first really thought I’d achieved something that designated me as a writer.
When did you first consider yourself “a writer”?
