Focus (not so freewrite)
Okay... so, where will this career come from? Where should i lay my focus. There are a few things that make my heart leap that i could do for a living:
- Work in Anime/Manga promotions/marketing
- Become a singer
- Work in the Video Game industry
(perfect timing, Billy - The Stranger is just how this feels)
The jobs above are highly competitive, as am i. They also don't promise lots of money. But working hard, could i be happy with just that?
I find that i'm more fortunate than others and must help them when i can. is this an arrogant sentiment? Should i not feel that way and let that dictate where i want to take a possible career? Or should i learn from my previous relationship that i'm not really helping but spoiling others where they cannot help themselves?
should i take on a bit of selfishness and do something completely for me? i don't know if i'm ready for that. an opportunity has presented itself and i'll see how things turn out in October. ^_^
to sing would be wonderful, but my fears are these: this relies solely on the voice. should that go away, the career is done. also, temporary issues like cold sores, getting sick and other things that keep me away from performing can hurt my image which that industry depends on.
marketing anime and manga is almost as important as marketing new york city. the art work is amazing and it's a bridge across cultures that cannot be ignored. unless there is another war (let's not jinx it), this demand cannot be stopped. though marketing is very cut throat, unless there are wholesome companies out there that have some inch of compassion for who they are marketing to.
and of course video games, my other love would help get in my writing muscle. writing storylines for games would be absolutely amazing. it would be an honor for someone to play my story and enjoy it. though would i be crushed if they didn't?
it's a hard path to choose as i'd love to do them all. we'll see what happens in october. smooth and steady, patience rules all.
