So today I was doing the thinkings about why I decided not to become a writer. And I think I pretty much blame school.
In fifth grade we did a futures project where we had to make a budget in accordance with whatever we wanted to be when we grow up. That's when I was like wow I'm gonna be poor.
In eighth grade we had to do a careers project and I was like oh no typically writers at least start off as freelance and then eventually maybe maybe MAYBE can support themselves. Ima be in the parents' basement. Shucks.
In ninth grade I had to do another career/future budgeting project to figure out college and after college plans and was like F this I don't like writing that much anyway.
WHY MUST YOU SHATTER ALL MY DREAMS WITH YOUR INSISTENCE ON FISCAL REALITY? MLAAAAAAAH.
Done.
My Grandma was pretty bummed though. She always wanted one of us to be published.
