I recently wired a light to its own breaker. I needed an outlet outside for my grill. I used the light wire in the attic for my receptacle. It only works when the light is turned on. How can I fix this?

An electrician can fix this for you.
A hot and neutral wire were probably taken to the switch and from the switch a switch leg and neutral were taken to the light.
You need a hot and neutral to your receptacle.
This can be done with an additional wire from the switch to the light, a hot wire, which would only connect to your receptacle wire.
If easier, you could run the hot and neutral from the switch to the receptacle.
