It's easier for me to respond to each section of this post seperately, so here. Response to your rambling about careerism and college and sorts.
I'm pretty sure I told you about my visit to a college but I'm not so sure. I visited University of New Hampshire, a stunningly beautiful college with many fun activities and things to do there when you're not working. The tour was fun and the info session was informative. Tuition was high, at $30,000 and scholarships are low. But I guess it's in the beauty of the university. But then I visted the Music Directors office. After hearing about everything I had to do, it was that point where I became FRIGHTENED of going to college. I thought I had it all figured out. Music major...compose, perform, and engineer to the best of my ability. Nope, not so clean cut. There were so many EXTRA things I had to do in a music major in order to get a degree, and here in America, everyone really really wants you to get that 4-year bachelor's degree. But, I gave it some thought, and realized that I just love music too much to let be such a simple part of my life. All I need to do now is find the right college and find the right things to do.
Now, as for as other stuff goes, as you know the book industry is a hit or miss industry, where you're either Stephen King and write as many novels as you effing can per month to make ends meet, or you're JK Rowling and you just so happen to make a novel that everyone is fascinated with. Yeah, you know where this is leading. I know you love fanfiction and stuff and you truly are a fantastic writer. Really. If you got some original works out there, you'd get some good marks with the critics and make some side money along with whatever else you were doing. I know it may seem hard, but you should talk to me. I could give you some tips on doing things as simple as stealing premises of fanfiction and warping them until they eventually become original works, despite it seemingly ripping off the fandom it spawned from.
