I can give you the idealistic answer, being that you can do whatever you want right this second, or the realistic one, that it would be a HUGE benefit to go to college.

If college is not an option, make some phone calls to your local newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television stations, or other media outlets. They all need writers, and they recognize that some people just have an incredible talent. Judging from your question, I can see you at least pay attention to grammar and spelling, which is a definite plus to someone wanting to be a writer.

Talk to the media in your area, and ask about intern programs. Good luck!

Yes you can. Whether you make it or not depends on how good you are. If you want some reassurance, go to an accomplished writer and ask them what they think about some of your work. Be prepared for criticism though.

You didn't graduate high school, it graduated you. You were graduated from high school.

u will need tons of experience seeing that you're not going to college..so try doing as much internships and free work as possible then the freelance money will come in ..or know someone who knows someone!

To be a writer, you need to have had a bad childhood.

If you own a degree – or any extra qualification – then you’ll already be ahead of the crowd when it comes to searching for vocations. My pal has a degree and he wasn’t sure what direction to go with it, but he discovered some great guidance on the resource in the resource box below which guided him to settle that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is plenty of help on the resource regarding extra vocations.

Even a four-year-old can publish a book. You don't need any sort of degree or anything like that.
