So, Jenn over at All Freelance Writing Jobs wants to know what kind of writing keeps me coming back for more.
It’s a tough decision. I’m a web copywriter during the day, and I like that enough to take the constant abuse of creative directors and clients. But when I think about my dream job, I’m not necessarily at a desk in an office thinking about how to make a “Next” button friendlier.
My first love was fiction. Right now I’m devoting 1,000 words a day of output to that, and I’m loving every second of it. I really like the story and characters I have going. Plus, who wouldn’t like to be riding the bus and see a complete stranger reading a book with your name on it.
By the narrowest of margins, screenwriting comes out on top. This probably wouldn’t be the case if I didn’t also like directing. Because I can actually make the shorts I write, I can see my vision come to life just how I want it. I can write novels ’till I’m blue in the face and never get published. With the new digital age and screenwriting, I can make a finished project and release it myself.
Let’s see, I’ll tag:
