Respond to others with your thoughts on how alternative paths might either help or hinder one’s writerly aspirations. Would you rather have a career in writing or pursue it as a hobby separate from your work?

2) During my days in college I never thought to become a writer. I always from the beginning chose to take my talents more to a teaching level. I think inspiring others with knowledge that I have utained can help others who are lost or not sure of a careers path for themselves. Writing has always just been part of the journey for me. Although I don’t desire a career in the writing field that doesn’t mean my mind might not change in a few years. I have enjoyed writing for this class, it has Brough a lot of creativity to my eyes. Poetry is something I’ve always written, in journals or even in my time of discomfort. So regardless I will always write just maybe not professionally. Teaching positions hold a more important part within my heart that I could never get rid of. There are multiple other ways to use your writing skills within the writing community. You just have to really find what’s best for you. In our book it states “And so I wrote. I wrote for practice. I wrote for fun. I wrote to discover, to explore, to play. I wrote because I was never more content than when I was sitting quietly at my writing desk, churning out pages.” always remember, your writing holds power, even if it’s not for a profession. Keep writing regardless of the out come!
