You could have been a private eye with that training.
Or at least written stories like Dashiell Hammett.
I’ve lived a life like a man who was going to write or who should become a writer.
Since my earliest years I have sought out and collected experiences, one of my regrets is not having left home at 14 and start my adventuring, like I came so close to doing, although I did move out in high school and live on my own.
Sadly, I can’t write, and I could never be a writer, but I sure have collected a lot of experiences. I have always had people telling me to write a book about my life, and I have had writers take an interest in me and at least one that I know of, use a little of me in her writing.
Someone told me that her writing teacher had been talking about a character in the class, and when she asked if he was a real person, it turned he was , and it was me.
