<p>Most people write or tell oral stories for fun at some point in their childhood. But the world isn’t saturated with English majors, so what happens? Why do we lose the interest? Is it because few of us were sufficiently motivated or because we never had enough initial talent?</p>
<p>No replies? So no one wrote stories as a kid? Wow, just more proof that I am an intellectual with elite skills.</p>
<p>I love writing stories. It’s just that I don’t have time.</p>
<p>I love writing stories, but I don’t need a class to tell me how. I also love math and politics.</p>
<p>I’d rather write than read. I am one of these people who loves it so much that he has extended it beyond writing at night–many of my assignments reference what I write and sometimes I’ll continue the saga of the school I write about in assignments.</p>
<p>I started writing about a ficticious school in 2004 (with people based on those at my high school) and now find myself trying to live in this community/go to this school at times. I’ve even slipped and said names of landmarks I make up when referencing something real.</p>
<p>I have a whole town with rival schools, businesses, housing districts, etc. Not to mention the characters. They’re my favorite part of writing because I have aged all of my friends ten years in the most recent installment. All are now teachers at this school and things are getting interesting to say the least.</p>
<p>I’m not an English major, I’m an education major. I was a good writing and grammar student but a poor literature student throughout school. Sort of ironic how I am creating literature now despite the fact I had to CliffNote my way through it years ago.</p>
<p>Not everyone likes story telling or writing. Stop generalizing us. I never wrote stories for fun as a kid. If I wrote a story, it was for class.</p>
<p>You should write.</p>
<p>I love writing stories and hope to be published someday.
However, I don’t want to major in English.</p>
