Ok, so first thing's first... you worry too much. Seriously... Now, that said... I can understand your worry about whether this is a "thing to do professionally." That is valid. Honestly, I can say that I love your writing... I would pay for it. But I'm not a publisher. *shrug* I'm biased. You're wonderful and so is your writing. When it comes to your plots... ideas are good. and crazy ideas that involve things that people may not "approve" of... who the eff cares. cause sometimes, it needs to be written. and sometimes they're wonderful... and sometimes they're not. I would love to read the one where Jack's ex comes back. soemtimes angst and depression is good. And soemtimes, doing somethign that people don't expect... or doing something that goes way against the grain is a good idea. hell, sometimes doing things that are taboo is ok too. You shouldn't be afraid to write what you feel you need/want to write. if people don't approve, then they can sod off. Stereotypes are sterotypes for a reason. They're there to be used... i know that in situations like this, people have a tendency to try to be placating or try to tell you what you want to hear... i dont want to do that. i think that if writing is something that you feel you need to do, then go for it! i'm 28 years old and realizing that i've wasted my life doing bs because i thought thats what i should be doing. but as it turns out... you need to d o what you'll enjoy. because its the thing you'll be doing for your life. don't do something that you'll hate. there's no point. writing is a thing that yo uare good at. have you ever sent anything to a pubisher? maybe you should try? see what they say... or find a professor at uni or something and let them read some of your stuff and get ideas? i'll probably have more for you later, but for now.. this is what ive got. my pearls of wisdom...
just... don't not do something because you're afraid. you'll regret it in the end. i certainly do. heh, learn from my experience. also, love you hun. please... if you need to talk about it... let me know. i'll msg you with my phone nbr even. hell, i dont care that we're like 12 hours apart. *cuddles and squishes* good luck with figuring it out. :)
