Today's English class topic:

Pick an interesting ambition (future occupation) of yours, and state three reasons why you found it interesting.

It was good to see my classmates (usually silent as rocks during English lessons) talk about their ambitions, although when it came to the explanation, they explained WHY they chose that ambition, not WHY they found it interesting.

But frankly speaking, it's a tough question to answer. People usually choose their jobs based on other factors, such as passion, stability and income, and not based on how interesting the jobs can be.

My future ambition was to become a writer. I don't know about the teacher thing, that's just a very likely possibility, since it's very achievable and stable. I might not be a teacher. But a writer, well, that's something I can be with or without a degree in writing, yes? You just gotta know the right people (agents) to get to the right people (publishers).

What I find interesting about being a writer?

1. it's probably the only thing i don't suck at

If you're successful, your publisher sponsors you on trips and researches, for you to get information and/or inspiration for your books. Which means I get to experience new things (things that are probably chosen by myself, since i'm the writer) and gain more knowledge (on things that I choose, since i'm the writer)

For instance, I'm writing a fiction with a basketball tournament background. Basically, I get to go to basketball tournaments to scope out what really happens, probably talk to basketballers or their coaches, or fans, ect. If I'm a really famous and expensive writer, who knows, I might end up watching NBA live. :D

Interesting, don't you think?

2. i am heavily loaded with teenage angst and hormonal emotions which need to be vented out as non-violently as possible, thus, writing

Fans.

Do you guys have any idea how interesting fans can be? Especially if they are YOUR fans.

First off, they'll send you fan-mail, and it isn't in every occupation that you get people telling you how awesome and fabulous you are.

Secondly, forums. It isn't in every occupation that you get people discussing in online forums about how character #2 should've kissed character #5 in chapter #6 of the 2nd book in the something series by Carmelia Yong. Speculations abound. That's, in my personal opinion, VERY interesting.

Thirdly, fanfic and fanart. Fans will write their own fiction based on your story, your world, your characters. Fans will draw pictures of your characters, make blog layouts out of them, make display pictures, icons, banners, ect. Maybe even a website dedicated to some of your more popular characters, even. O__O WOW. How cool is THAT. Very interesting. :D

3. revenge

Coming up with plots and stories, that's interesting enough for me. :D
