For being a writer I was told more that you need to establish yourself as a known writer first, like being an author or screenwriter as most of these high-end studios get their writers from there.

Yep and yep, particularly for creative roles. It's becoming an industry not unlike film and music where you just have to work and work and work until you do something that really grabs people. From a coding perspective you can do the traditional engineering route but you still have to have a good background of work to prop you up. The fact that the indie market exists as it does right now is a huge boon because it's a very low cost of entry to get your ideas out there to test and iterate.
