College Majors, Laziness, and Irritation - I swear this topic is in the valid section!
Again, you can get amazing jobs with liberal arts degrees, the only thing is that they are not handed to you like people expect they are. If you work as hard as you did getting that liberal arts degree on looking for a job, you won't be at Starbucks forever. It's just that the majority of people don't, or don't even know how to if they wanted to.

I really advise you get out of the liberal arts and study something practical. I studied the liberal arts for my undergrad and it was the biggest mistake of my life. Passions are great and everything, but they should come after paying the bills. You can always get a certificate in like . . . plumbing, or something, and have a stable income that can support you through graduate school. The 4-year liberal arts degree is a horrible lie that doesn't really have any relevance in today's society.
I disagree with this. It's not trade school and doesn't line you up for a job, it's academia, and it's nice and lovely, and can be used to help.

Mitsu, no offense, but the way you speak about yourself makes people want to be dicks to you. Regardless of how good you are at your respective fields, there are people who are better than you and way more humble about it. It rubs people the wrong way when a person constantly writes in a way that lets it sound like they think highly of their ability.
About the path, either one is fine, but with the goals that you have, they are not enough on their own. If you get a BA in English, you'll have to be taking an active part in Campus literary life, and sending poems/stories/whatever to various journals and make connections and whatnot. The paper in itself will do next to nothing for you. It will do a lot for you when added to a mix of other accomplishments.
Finally, there's no clear way to succeed. If there was, all aspiring writers would be on the same path, and they're not. The help we can give you is basic at best. Whatever path you need, you need to be independent, hard-working and confident. Not confident to mean thinking your stories are the best, but confident to mean putting yourself out there and talking to people you would be too shy to talk to regularly.
All the best, may you succeed.

JLPT4-ish. I know the basics and I'm pretty sure I could make a we'll-save-the-world or a friendship speech if the need ever arose.
Cool. Good luck with it.
How eeeerily prophetic...

What Time Zone?
Mine is +9 of the GMT.
I'll call it the Tokyo time zone, although I think many other countries share it.
