Went from journalism (10 years) to dream job: engineering (38 years). Best decision I ever made. Now I write for fun.
If you think you'll always have a twinge of regret about something, change it! You totally can. I've mentioned more than once how your posts about politics and stuff impress me. You have a notable talent for putting things very intelligently and you write well. Write some articles. Send them places. Just DO it. Even if it never goes anywhere, you'll not have the same kind of regret.
I work on a 500 acre farm in South Carolina, I spend a lot of time in the Woods by myself working on trails or Bush hogging. Most of the time I am completely Nude!
I've thought about this before. Maybe I will. Even if nothing comes of it, it would feel good writing again. Kinda gave up writing (except for the practice I get arguing with boomers on a purple hippie message board ) the last few years and I miss it Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement, Dr. Rue !
You are VERY WELCOME MADAM. BE SURE YOU DO. Genuinely, I think you can make a difference to the world. I read the kind of articles I know you'd be able to write sometimes, and it's what gives me hope. Keeps me feeling that the world isn't doomed. That's no small gift.
That truly means a lot, thank you for the kind words. I'll have to keep my cynicism in check in my articles then cant go around letting people down who want to find hope in my words
So I should go twiddle my thumbs in a small town newspaper while complaining to Jess that I could have been a contender? I could write about small town hijinks. Could be fun
Ohhh yeah that would be fun. Except I would probably kill Paris. Great character but I would totally murder her at some point if she was my real friend
I hated her meltdown when she was editor. She was always strong and I dont know why the show had to weaken her. Other than that tho I've just always crushed on her hard. Shes my polar opposite and sometimes that's what you need in a relationship
Dream job? Playing something like this, live, on stage, somewhere... Yeah... Probably not gonna happen.
