Creative Writing

I am a freshman in high school and I want to be a writer. Any advice as to what major I should follow. Poetry is on my list along with novels. But some sites say that you can’t make a living on such a degree. I’ve recently looked into graphic design but I’m not sure. Any colleges that are really good in these fields are welcome in your answer.

I really, really want to get into a good creative writing college, but I can’t find any real answers online. I’d like them to be located in the south east section of the United States (by or even in Georgia). Best answer goes to whoever . . . gives me the best answer

Okay, I’m thirteen years old nd no nothing about degrees. I want to know as much as I can if this is going to work. Like, where can I get this type of degree and what good it can do me because I dream of being a novelist. Please be specific as possible and do not use terms like MA or PhD because I have no idea what they mean. If you do use them please describe what they mean.

And another thing, is this part of an English degree, or would getting an English degree be better? I’m completely confused about these type of things but would like to get an early start on looking into colleges so I can set myself a goal when I get to high school.

Thank You!

I’m in high school and starting next year I will have to start looking at colleges. I know I want to find a college just for creative writing. I love writing stories of all sorts, and I know of a couple colleges that specialize in creative writing. But where would you recommend? Remember, I’m talking about creative writing, not journalism. Any suggestions?
