When you were little, people asked you all the time 'what do you want to be when you grow up' and my first answer that I can remember was that I wanted to create video games. I was in love with my Commedore 64, then my Nintendo, etc.
Even to this day, I think the idea of coming up with interactive fiction is a great idea. I do, however, suffer from an inability to program. I've tried programming before.. C.. VB++.. I can't. There is a strange line between my brain and my fingers that can't formulate how to get from idea to goal. I believe it's the same reason I don't know how to speak spanish, even though I work in one of the most densely populated hispanic parts of New Jersey.
Here though, is a list of things that I've considered being before. Stupid or not, I'm putting them down. There are a few obvious patterns...
- Video Game Creator
- Comic Book Writer
- Voice Actor (Specifically pertaining to games & cartoons)
- Novel Writer (Specifically fantasy or erotica)
- Freelance Writer
- Graphic Artist
- Web Designer
- Stand-Up Comedian
- Game Show Host
- Professional Wrestling Commentator or Announcer
- Actor
- Self-Employed Internet Webcomic Superstar
There are admitted patterns here that do come directly from my positive qualities. I speak well. I am witty. I have (potentially) good ideas. I love to talk. I love to create.
Reasonably, the ones in bold are the ones that I believe I will have the best possible chance at succeeding at. They are the ones that I'll be focussing on. If new ones come up, or if out of nowhere I find the perfect video game writer job, I'm not going to hesitate to dive on it.
Now What...
That's what I want to know. I'm going to have to concoct plans to move these ideas further. Just posting them isn't enough.
I guess that's what I'll start doing in my next post.
