Your english seems pretty good to me, CommanderROR.

I actually wanted to be an author. I realized that I was unlikely to make a living at it to begin with, so I settled on journalism as something in the same neighborhood, that would pay the bills until the fiction career got going.

Then I realized a few things: that I wasn't related to anyone in the journalism industry, which would hurt my chances of getting work; that I didn't want to be the token conservative in the newsroom; and most importantly, I don't like journalism.

So, I went to engineering (note that not a lot of your journalism credits xfer to engineering), and I've ended up in programming.

In the meantime, I've learned some things about myself. I like to think I put words together reasonably well, and I can see scenes in my mind that would be great parts of stories, but I just don't have any stories to tell. (sigh)

So I'd love to write a novel, or several, but I just don't think I'm a writer.
