Wow, even on someone else's journal I can't escape my opinions being criticized and analyzed. XD
HAHAHA, just saw this. BUT I wanted to say that everyone has a talent, and criticizing you seems to be mine. For the time being. ;P (You know who this is, anyway, even if you don't realize that you know.)
But I'm really commenting to reply to this:
Even if I ultimately get into writing professionally, I'd want to enjoy my job. When writing becomes a chore, it loses its luster, you know? That's why I tend to write about things that interest me.
That's really what's important. Especially in original fiction, you don't want to feel like what you're doing is a chore, because it not only loses its luster, but your writing itself will suffer. They actually say that some of the best writing is done by people who also work doing something else...because free time spent writing makes writing fun, whereas if writing is your only job, you're less likely to enjoy doing it. (Which is sad, but it makes sense. I know that if I get time off of work, I'm less likely to write than if I just write before or after work, in my few hours of spare time.)
