Would You Take Writing as a Career Option? Why?
I would definately have writing as a career option. It's been my dream since I was little. I just love to do it so much. I'd get other jobs while I'm writing and such but writing would be my main career.

Kind of need to start in that front tho haha. I'm so intirely impracticle.
As for Gauri, it'd be better to do what you want and and have other people be not so happy about it rather than just being unhappy all the time yourself.
I definitely want to be a 'professional' writer or whatever. At least a published one, since I don't take myself seriously enough to consider anything I do to be professional. ;)But yeah, I'd love to having writing be my career. And maybe also a doctor.

I wish I could but I don't think I'm good enough...
Aww, Marisol don't think like that! You have to be positive about these things!! :D
It would be hard, but id love to be a full time novelist. It would be the best, most enjoyable job.
Not too much stress, your own hours, work from home :)
Also, id love the world to read my story.
Even if its not a job, i would love to have one published.
I want to train as a pyschologist, but do something creative. To quote L.M. Montomgery:"I'd like to add some beauty to life," said Anne dreamily. "I don't exactly want to make people KNOW more. . .though I know that IS the noblest ambition. . .but I'd love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me. . .to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn't been born."
No matter what, I will always write. Even if it's just a journal--I will write. I have to. And I don't care if I'm not published. I can write little things for friends and family. I just have to write.

That quote is so pretty. :) Which Anne book was it from?
I've wanted to become an actress/singer for so long now but I think I've changed my mind. I think I want to be a history teacher but write (a lot) and act in theaters on the side. :)

I REALLY want to be a writer, or actress, or director, BUT if I don't make it big as any of those things...... So I'm contemplating getting a law degree, and write on the side. That way even if it turns out I'm a crap writer, I'll have something to fall back on. :POr you know what? I should be an optometrist. Because they get paid a lot, and get to have the Doctor title, but all they do is sit and go, "Which is better... number one? Or number two?" And then I'd have lots of extra time to write. :D

See, this is my strategy: Become a famous sportscaster, THEN write a book. If you're already famous, then your book will sell better because people want to have it just because you wrote it. Get it?

I like proving people wrong, my 8th grade english teacher failed me, so it would be awesome to publish a book and rub it in her face :/

How funny would that be if you became, like, a famous author and they're there at your signing. "Do you remember me? I was your english teacher in eighth grade-"
"Yeah, you failed me. That's right."
*Crowd gasp*
No, I wouldn't want it to be my careerA)Because of the slim chance of it being sucessful
B) Because of the pressure you would have on you to write a book that EVERYONE loves. I'd rather just get one book published and not have to worry about how much money I would make off of it

Gee, I wonder what job you read in. Oh, I know you could write book reviews! I wan't to do that a little on the side.
Mod
I definately want to be a published author but then i don't think that's a very reliable source of income. So then i'd probably just have it as a hobby and be like a forensic scientist or something.
(a) ABBY!! (b) I know what you mean (c) Do they put names on the reviews?
No, I don't think I'd choose writing as a career. Maybe as a side job though. I want to become a nurse practitioner and an artist and perhaps run an art gallery some time down the line.
I want to be a writer. It would be so awsome if I became an author, what everyone thought my sister would be, while she became a sleezy lawyer. (and my brother ???)
Hey! I want to become a lawyer, too! *offended glare at Naria*
pettifogger! :P jksanyway, you don't have to write a book that everyone likes, because then it won't be your writing, hence WHAT'S THE POINT? so yeah, just want to say that you got into the gig with your writing and you can stay there if you deserve it! thats all ^^
Well I'd have an actual money paying job, and I can write and publish novels, that way if I fail with writing (I hope I won't!!!) than I'll already have a another job
Yes, I'll be a writer any day. It might not get steady income, so I'd get a job at a newspaper or magazine then write in my free time. But first I'll go for my dreams!
if I'm good enough which I'm probably not... :(
I would LOVE to become a published author one day. I have realized lately that i love writing soo much and that i AM a writer and that i could not live happily without writing. and if im writing all the time, what's stopping me from publishing a book? i will probably have a backup plan (which would also be what i could do before my writing career takes off ;) no, i WILL, but i will enjoy that too. :)

those are my thoughts EXACTLY. like its really weird. i use "twould" too... unless that was a typo. and i am trying not to cause i dont think its a word...
haha anyway i agree completely except for the digital art part. :)
I would love to be a writer, but I think I'd want to have another job. If I just sat at home all day and had to write it would be guaranteed that I would get absolutely nothing done.

I think it's stupid when people plan to be something famous. I mean, people might think you suck. And then you starve.
