What are good resources for an aspiring writer to get their start?
Hi there! I am a college-bound senior who is planning to major in English. I am hoping to have a career in creative writing, whether it be screenwriting, poetry, short stories, or more. Does anyone know of good resources for someone trying to start out in the field of writing? I have tried to find online scholarships and competitions, as well as publishing online for poetry, but I am having trouble figuring out what is legit or will actually help me in my career. #Spring26
How do I know if this is the right path for me?
I’ve often been unsure of what I wanted to pursue, with switching around career prep pathways in high school, and often jumped from career to career about what I wanted to do. For a while recently, I’ve looked into going into the legal profession. I found myself interested in reading since childhood, and writing. My strengths and interests tend to lean towards advanced English and Social Science classes, than STEM related courses, which I struggled in. I find myself as well engrossed in political topics. I may intend on majoring in Political Science with a minor in Literature or Journalism, on a pre-law track, but am not definitely certain yet.

What could the path to becoming an English professor look like?
I want to study English and become a professor, but I only have a rough idea of what that process looks like. I know I'd need to do graduate work and go through training to teach, but I'm hoping to learn a little more about the specifics. Thanks!
The degree I’m looking at is an English major. It says in the description that I can get a teaching license with that degree, but I’m curious if not going specifically for education will limit my career choices.
