What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? – A serious question from the Daily Writing prompt.
I’m finally doing what I want in life and I’m not sure I would call it a career yet because it’s just getting off the ground this year. Having retired from a lifetime in the Newspaper business I’m pursuing the life of an artist.
I want to create a body of work that I’m pleased with and that others enjoy. But that sounds like an end goal and the fun is in the journey. I’m learning each day and expanding my toolset and the media I work with. I’m trying to open my mind creatively which is a task in itself.
I was interested in this path coming out of high school but a real paying job became the priority quickly and I set this desire aside for 5 decades. Now I’m Rocking & Rolling. Being my boss is GREAT. We get along just fine.
