Since I was young, I've enjoyed writing as a means to express myself and to provide a means for others to entertain themselves. I never made an attempt to develop this interest into a career, partly because writing always seemed like a fantasy career to me, something you dream about but never actually do, and partly because writing is something that I enjoy and I feel that if I had to write for a living I may come to lose my passion for it.
