[QUOTE="iskeethunters"][QUOTE="The-Apostle"][QUOTE="iskeethunters"] I'm pretty sure that's not the way to be a good writer. Not sure what you mean. I can write about any subject. Ones I don't know that well I can research. Well you shouldn't be told what you write about. That will be most likely average at best. Write about what you want. Not the way I write. Sure, I'm better at writing what I want but I can write what others want almost as well.

I'm not even discovered. :(

Sure it's not easy, it's way more comfortable to sit inside and ask for advice or write about what others want, but in my opinion that's how most books are written nowadays. I think the majority of modern books are trash. There was this trend launched in America somewhere around the 80s or 90s promoting average authors and their average books. I hate these so-called bestsellers and their authors. They ruined literature in my opinion. I like old books (currently reading Dostoevsky). In my opinion, a good writer is influenced by his life (that's why no great book was written by someone young - I might be wrong here though). If I was to be a writer, I'd go out more. I'd travel. I'd talk to all sorts of people from various places, social circles etc. I'd cross mountains on foot, go camping, volunteer etc. in order to have as much experience as possible to influence my writing and also to have a source of inspiration. It isn't easy, but I'd do it, because I'd want to be a great writer.
Registered nurse with a BSN. I'm not entirely sure about what I will specialize in, but I am currently considering ER nursing, ICU nursing and mental health nursing. And I'm especially interesting in helping out the GSM (gender and sexuality minorities) community with my career.
I'm waiting to hear back from the U.S. Marshals service. Right now I'm a police officer, second grade in New York.
It's my goal to become a fiction writer, however.

Cop-turned-writer. I like the sound of that for some reason.
I'm studying Computer Science. I want to work in video game development, software development, web design and some other jobs in the CS domain.iskeethunters

I currently work in out of school hours care (5-12 yr olds) but I hope to get into an actual childcare centre soon where it's 0-6 years and do my diploma in childcare.
I'm not sure really, ever since I was young I always wanted to work in the games industry but I'm a better writer so perhaps a journalist or a screenwriter, there was a time I considered directing as well.
i'm a safety supervisor for the largest oil/gas drilling contractor in Saudi Arabia. i'm right now in charge of maintaining the health, safety and environmental care (in the rig areas and sorrounding areas) of 5 rigs in the desert.
can get a little hectic at times, and i basically live in the desert for days at a time, but the pay is fvckin' excellent. so i ain't complaining.
flexible days off, but that's because i work almost 12 hours a day... which explains why i don't come online to Gamespot much anymore.
I want to be a biomedical engineer or maybe even a molecular biologist during experiments in a lab. But because of some serious health problems I'm having right now I don't think this will ever happen.
I'm in my first year of college. I'd like to be a teacher, writer, broadcast news analyst or a court reporter. (Honestly, I'd like to be a number of things lol)
Right now I am working on a project in a lab at my University. I graduated with a B.S. in neuroscience in 2012. I will eventually move on to grad school and start my own research, to improve the quality of life for others.
I don't know yet. I'll most likely end up a teacher but what I'd want most is to be a Journalist or work in Hollywood as a big time Director.
