I am always fascinated by what people do for a living. OK, not the money market manager type but the ones who have found their passion or at least do something weird.
I have had several different incarnations on the job scene: English teacher in Japan, working for a clothing designer, silversmith/jeweler, Production Coordinator on BAD B movies in LA, I sold advertising for a newspaper and then for a National magazine, upholsterer, Internet marketing advisor........blah blah blah. I love learning new things and would absolutely go into a medical field except that I gag at the sight or smell of anything remotely gross.
Years ago, I had myself convinced that I would use a pseudonym and write Harlequin novels. No one would know, and it would supplement my income. They have very specific formulas for every genre of book that they publish.

The only problem that I can see is that I can't even make myself blog with any regularity----how the Hell can I write a book?

Oh my. I always thought I could write trashy novels, too. And I'm pretty sure I'd even picked a fake name to use.
I think the challenging thing would be to make the main character funny and smart-not just the regular waiting for Prince Charming gal with aheart of gold.
