Well it is my hobby and I hope that it will one day be part of my career. I'm hoping to go into creative writing when i get to college in like 2yrs. I love writing so I started out for fun and decided that it is what I want to do with my life.

Career to the max! I have absolutely no doubts about getting published.

Doesn't mean it's true in any way, shape or form, but it's a good mentality to start off with :)

Career. And if I can't make a living off it I'll find something else to do involving history and literature and write until I can support myself on it.
