* Are you satisfied with your current projects, or are you feeling unchallenged?
I am in a way satisfied. All of my current projects are the ones assigned in school. If I didn’t have anything assigned or wasn’t in school I wouldn’t be doing anything. I can admit I am lazy and unmotivated when it comes to writing. I have plenty of ideas and good stories, I just log onto my laptop and start up facebook and that’s where it all ends. Or I get on xbox, or I exercise.
In a way I am not satisfied, too. Since some of the assignments aren’t something I want to do. I should be writing my ideas without getting sidetrack or saying “I’ll do it tomorrow.” I need to get to that point, but I am exhausted after work or school and just don’t want to do it.
* Where do you see yourself a year or two from now?
I would like to see myself graduating college and getting my foot in the door of the editing career. Or a career that’s going to help me in the long run. I am not completely close-minded. I may wind up in a field that I never saw myself. If it has to do with writing, though, I’ll take it.
* What are your long-term career goals?
My long-term career goals is to become an editor with a publishing company or a self-employed editor, if that makes sense. The one where people pay you to edit their unpublished novel before they self-publish or hire a publisher. Right before I applied for school and decided to continue my theatre degree, I said to a coworker “I wish I could get paid to read books.” He replied “Become an editor.” I had never really thought about that, honestly, because I had just gotten back into reading like never before that summer. I’m pretty sure that was the summer I read the whole Harry Potter series and four other books (because I was bored). When I applied to Rowan I decided to switch my major to Writing Arts so that way if I didn’t become an editor, my options weren’t limited.
* Which books, articles and blogs will help you branch into new territory?
I am not sure. I guess that’s why I am taking this class to see what’s out there and if I like something better. Writing my assignment on copywriters helped, because I’d maybe like to do that if all else fails. It can be a good paying career and most of the time you’re working while leading your life running errands and seeing friends.
* Who do you know who may be able to offer you advice on making a transition?
I don’t know the answer to this question either. I’m not sure if I answered the last question correctly. I would say teachers, or maybe if I got a job at The Whit someone could help me there. I have no idea.
