Writer's Block: Dream Job
Mostly because I don't know what it would be.
Part of the problem lies in the fact that,in my mind, the words dream and job are a bit antithetical. You can't have a job that's a dream, as by its very nature, a job is not fun, and dreams denote positive happy things (ie fun). Nightmares and jobs are more synonymous in my head.
However... if I can figure out what a greatly fun job would be, I think doing something creative like a webcomic would be a sort of ideal job. I'm jealous of the talents that people like the Penny Arcade folk, who can survive on doing nothing BUT doing a webcomic. And if being an author of a webcomic is an ideal job, I suppose what's keeping me from it is a big lack of TALENT. I mean, I have decent artistic skills, don't get me wrong. But I don't seem to have a sense of humor that typically translates well with others (though it translates well with Amy). And it's hard to do a comic that isn't funny. Also, I am typically pretty lazy with my artwork, it can take days for something to be created, and in order to have a successful webcomic, I can't wait to put out new material. And I haven't drawn anything in a month or two now and actually drawing something is kind of required of a comic.
In the end though, I don't think that I would really enjoy even this for long. Because the longer I'd work on the comic the more it would feel like WORK. And the moment a job feels like work, it's not really a dream job anymore. Which leads me back to my first thought, that a dream job is pretty much unattainable.
