How to become a writer

"How to become a writer" by Lorrie Moore, was probably the most confusing short story I have ever tried to read.  She goes from talking about what classes to take in high school and college, to deciding what major to partake in, and then who to date.  All throughout the story I had no idea what she was trying to get across.  But, I then realized she was focusing on the fact that her life has no plot to it; it has no core. The character went from day to day trying new things and learning, and wanting to find out how to become a good writer and never could.  But she then realized that you don't "learn" to become a  good writer. It just comes naturally.
