Staging #8: A Terrific Scientist
This is just a beta version of a paragraph i had to write for my english class with Mr. Leo. I wrote it in the test after trying to answer all the other questions (i didn't get the nicest score, but it wasn't because of this item) so don't expect anything great. And it wasn't suppose to be a story, just a lame paragraph, but i just can't help but write them. I love writing stories, it's my favourite hobby ^^.
This is mine. But it has nothing good, so i don't know why i even bother.

When he decided to be a writer, he was not aware of the amount* of difficulties he would have to face. He could not sell his novels to any publishing house to begin with: his style did not fit into any commercial standard.
“Those weird novels will not bring you any money nowadays”, they said. He was unable to believe this was true after getting the best grades at college, but considering their opinion, he tried to write what publishers told him to (easy-to-read love stories or standardised fantasy). However, then his writing was not as ‘natural’ as they would like to, and his particular style (or ‘strange and riddiculous’, as they called it) was still showing up, therefore, he soon got fired.
With his professional degree as a journalist, he applied to an assistant work for a newspaper, yet his duty was so miserable and boring that he just could not do it properly. His mind was always in his novels and his characters always replaced the news protagonists, so he found himself fired once again.
One day, one of his former publishers saw him (after many years without even remembering him) working in a fast food restaurant. He was repeating himself something like “Maybe I should have studied medicine as my father wanted” over and over, and the restaurant owner told the publisher he was like that after getting fired for the 10th time from a publishing house.
Definitely, if he had known the difficulties he would have to face as a writer, he would have been a terrific scientist.

PS1: We weren't suppose to use contractions, that's why it's somehow weird (plus the mistakes of my terrible English).
PS2: I'm writing this here because i wanted to see if Multiply works as good as LJ when it comes to online journals, and i didn't have anything else to post, otherwise i'd have written something a lot more decent (but i've got no time! >_<).
