3 Things I’ve Learned From Getting A Creative Writing Degree
The rumors are true…. you don’t need a degree to start a writing career. But from my perspective, it was worth it.
I don't regret going to college for creative writing.
Here’s the thing. I understand why a lot of people say you don’t need a degree to have a writing career. I believe that’s true; you can work your way up and teach yourself how to thrive in this industry. Just like in college, it’ll take a lot of effort and determination.
Looking back, I bet I could’ve taught myself how to get here…But I’m happy with how things turned out. Personally, I don’t think I would’ve gotten this far without experiencing this journey. And I want to pass what I’ve learned to those who might wonder what it’d be like to get a creative writing degree.
(This is not a story about how you should attend college for writing. I’m highly supportive of all writers and their backgrounds. Here, I’m just sharing my experiences and lessons learned.)
My Background:
Ever since I was young, I’ve been determined to be a writer. I always told myself (and everyone who asked),
I’m going to be a writer
