I Am F. Scott Fitzgerald

I am F. Scott Fitzgerald.  I was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, In college I was put on academic probation and was unable to graduate so enlisted in the army and during that time I wrote a novel called The Romantic Egotist. I am a well known author that has sold thousands of novels and short stories such as  The Great Gatsby, Tender is the Night, This Side of Paradise and so forth and even though I was well known author that sold thousands of copies of my work I was in debt and had a alcohol problem.

Introducing F. Scott Fitzgerald

There is a few things that I found very interesting about F. Scott Fitzgerald. He really loved music and when he was in college he and a couple of his pals had a comedy musical society. I didn't know that Fitzgerald wrote the lyrics for the "Star-Spangled Banner". A lot of his work was around the Jazz Age which just happens to be one of genres of music. When he was actually getting income for his work he got more money on his short stories. When he wasn't writing short stories or novels he was actually becoming very involved in the film industry.
