Writer's Block: My Dream Job
The simple answer is that my dream job would be writing for a living. And I do that. So I already have it. Awesome :)
I suppose if you want to get even more technical though, my dream job would be writing whatever I want, likely fiction. (Is it silly? I've always wanted to be a Young Adult book author, probably some HOPEFULLY cool young adult novels which I think are often a lot better than people give them credit for, being 'kid's books' and all, but I wouldn't even mind cranking out some semi-formulaic series as well!) In that case, I'm not quite there, but I still get to write blog entries for work which is basically whatever random thought or rant I want to throw down a few paragraphs on, and we're encouraged to have a bit of a smartass tone in our comments on the headlines and such so... it's not quite the DREAM, but it's better than like when I was first checking to see if any writing jobs existed for me and I'd come up with "technical writer for car maintenance manuals" or something like that :P
