What do you think about the writer's lifestyle? How much of it appeals to you? Which aspects least appeal to you? Can you envision yourself doing the job? Describe how writing might either fit into your lifestyle or become your lifestyle in the future.
I personally do not find the writing lifestyle to be very appealing. Spending my life writing would be kind of boring. I could never see myself sitting at home thinking to myself "if I want to pay for my kids this week, I have to write something." That would drive me insane. It would be the ultimate brain wrecker. Jobs in which thinking is necessary are the best ones. But once your at the point of needing to overcome all chances of writers block to make some money, now that would be horrible.
I don't think that writting would be able to fit into my personal lifestyle. When I think about my future a key aspect is family. I understand that a family is all about respect, and thats why I feel that me spending time at a desk writing is not fair. I would much rather be outside in my spare time.Or doing another activity. I enjoy writting on my own time, but I don't ever want it to feel like a pressure.
To me writting is something you should do only if you have the feeling inside of you to do it. Writing should never be a forced effort. Which is exactly why I have such huge problems completing the work in this class sometimes. I don't know how to make myself write. To me I either have an idea or I don't.
I also think that writing would be a stressful job. You have to first worry about writing, then editing, then publishing. And now that you have put all of this money time and effort in, who knows if it will even sell. Writing is the same thing as be a doctor or teacher or mechanic you either you like it or you don't. The difference is as a mechanic even if you don't you've been taught to fix brakes and you could do it over and over. But as a writer, you aren't able to just rewrite the same story. In each book you have to rediscover your ideas, feelings and interpretations. And I don't think that this would work out for me.
