摘要

Twelve creative writers and 10 journalists were interviewed about their childhoods to explore the kinds of early indicators that may be associated with later involvement in writing as a career. Information was gathered about cognitive, socioemotional, and family factors. Cognitive factors reported by both kinds of writers included an early fascination with language and a positive attitude toward schooling. Cognitive factors also differentiated the 2 groups: the creative writers recalled an early fascination with aesthetic aspects of language and with fiction; the journalists recalled a fascination with multilingualism and the sociopolitical sphere-that is, reality, not fiction. Socioemotional factors reported by both kinds of writers included feeling different from others as children: the creative writers recalled having interests differing from those of other children; some journalists felt different because their parents were outcasts. Both groups reported solitary, introverted childhoods and yet both groups also reported having friends as children. Family factors differentiated these 2 groups: journalists recalled child-centered families; creative writers recalled turbulent, stress-filled families, much like those reported by other kinds of highly creative adults. It is concluded that cognitive and family factors differentiate 2 kinds of children with high verbal ability-those who "turn inward" to write fiction or poetry versus those who "turn outward" to report actual events.
