My dream job
I realised I've never written anything in English, so I thought I could share a text I wrote for fun.
My dream job is to be a writer. I don't think there are jobs that are more important than others and I wouldn't mind doing something that doesn't align completely with the things I like (after all, I worked in several sectors in my life), but if I had to choose one out of the countless jobs I could do, I would definitely choose to be a writer.
I began writing in my teenage years. I've always had a creative mind and I tried multiple times to write something as a kid, but I was just a child and I had no writing skills whatsoever. Writing is therapeutic: it helps me clear my mind, organise my thoughts and rationalise my feelings. I'd love to be a writer, because writing helped me a lot during the darkest times of my life and I'm sure my stories and poems could help others as well.
As much as I'd like to be a writer, though, I know I will never be able to. In order to be a well-paid writer, skills aren't enough. Unfortunately mere luck is a very important factor in helping someone become a well-known writer. I say "well-known" not because I want fame (I'd rather see my art become more famous than my name), but because lesser known writers don't earn enough to be able to make writing their full-time job.
I will for sure try, but I'm quite confident writing won't ever be my job, even though it will always play a big role in my life.
I realised I've never written anything in English (before), so I thought I could share a text that I wrote for fun.
Minor stylistic correction-it's better to be specific.

It sounds more natural if you include the words "back then".

"Luck" is enough. Or, you can also say "sheer luck", but I don't find its use to be natural in this context. For example: "Through sheer luck and the help of passing boaters, the pair was rescued."
I will try for sure try, but I'm quite confident that writing won't ever be my job, even though it will always play a big role in my life.
It sounds more natural if you swap it around.
Alternative: I'm quite confident that I'll never write for a living.
