I tried any career but none of them seems to be the one that I love. I truly love writing books, stories, commercials and big movies. English is my second language and I speak three languages. Do you think I need to go to school for this since I’m already good on it? Who should I see and talk to about this. Can I start this without going to school?

You do not need to go back to school. You can do a short course in creative writing. The most important thing is to write the thoughts that come in your mind and organise later into a well crafted piece of literary writing.

There are countless numbers of 'work shops' that You can attend. The best thing that I could advise You to do would be to acquaint Yourself with an evening class at a Tertiary Education Facility. That way You can study, interact with those of a like propensity, and receive tutelage from a professional writer and or scholarwhislt giving expression to You creative urges.
Good luck. Cheers!

i am like you, i have two university degrees, speak 4 languages but all i want to do is write. the bad thing is that becoming an author is not that easy, even if you are good in it, you ll need years to finalize a book or get a proper job as a writer somewhere..thats why you need to study something that looks close to your hobbies...if you like litterature you can try englush litterature or philosophy at university. that way you ll be able to get a job and then try to write at your free time.

If you want to be a published author you don't need to go back to school (college), unless you want to take a creative writing course.
Seach magazines because sometimes you will find writing contests.
There is a book of publishers that is reprinted every year. It lists every publisher in the US and how good they're. Send them one of your manuscripts and goodluck!
Remember, if you want to be an author don't take rejection seriously.
