Getting my life together means putting together a career path. I've spent the last three years trying to put together a career path and am no farther now than I was then.
If I could do absolutely anything, what would I do? I would write. Preferably Fiction and preferably Young Adult. Something you could pick up one day, put it down a few days later, and (hopefully) not think you just wasted the last few days on a headache inducing book. I don't care if no one will read it a decade from the time it is published. I'm not even sure I care if it never sells more than a few copies, or even gets published at all. All I know is I've got stories running through my head all the time and I like to write them down when the voices get to loud and demanding. And now I sound like I'm crazy.
In an ideal world I would run off to my apartment in Gozo after college and spend my days writing on my balcony overlooking the bay. Alas, reality intrudes and reminds me that I'm going to be over my head in debt from college loans. Even if I did write something good enough to be published in the next year, I doubt it would pay off all the bills heading my way. I guess its time to find something a little more dependable.
