Taylor Swift New Album 2013 [VIDEO]: Harry Styles' 'Sweeter Than Fiction' Ex Wanted to be Novel Author, Uses Same Strategy to Write New Songs

In a new interview with Examiner, Taylor Swift admitted her life as an international pop star was not what she originally hoped for herself. The former girlfriend of Harry Styles said that she dreamt of becoming a novelist and even started writing her own story. Eventually these skills transferred to her song-writing!

"All my friends were back in Pennsylvania and so I had nothing to do," Swift said. "I had this epiphany; I'm going to be a novelist and I'm gonna write novels and that's gonna be my career path."

She added: "I would write different chapters of this book and send them back to my friends and I'd write them into the book under different names but totally describe their personalities. It was a really fun way to spend the summer."

"You can convey a thought or a story or completely describe a character or a situation through words and the whole process of editing and re-editing and rethinking and imagining. I think that that's what I loved about writing the novel and that's what I love about poetry and songwriting," Taylor added.

In another recent interview, Taylor revealed that she would be interested in returning to the acting world. She said that she would seriously consider this move after the release of her "Red" follow-up.

When asked if she'd be interested in returning to the acting world, Swift responded, "That's always something that's in the back of my mind, if the right thing came along."

She added: "It would have to be something so amazing that it would take me away from writing songs and touring, which would have to be an incredible script."

While attending the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this week, Swift spoke more in depth about her involvement in One Chance and why she decided to write "Sweeter Than Fiction" for the film's end credits.

I'm very inspired by the concept of love. And this movie is, in a lot of ways, a love story," she explained. "You're expecting to go in and see a movie of someone who makes his dreams come true, but what you don't realize is you're actually being told a story of the love his wife ... has for him."

The former girlfriend of Harry Styles added: "That was the story that hit me and really affected me. I wanted to tell a story musically from that perspective."
