feb 27, 1917 - Steinbeck decides to become a writer.
Description:
As a teen, Steinbeck was a rebellious loner who seemed to live in a world of his own. At age 15, his freshmen English teacher encouraged Steinbeck (who showed promising writing skills) to pursue a writing career. As a result, Steinbeck spent hours of his time in his bedroom writing stories and poems.
