I feel like I keep getting idea's and running with them for a little while before losing track and just completely forgetting about it, or putting it off.
I have come up with yet another of my "kick start my career" ideas. And then some.
1. My whole, work for a year, save money so I can move to New York plan -- Still in progress.
2. Learn technical writing -- I've been wanting to do this for a while now, but never took a class in school, so I'm going to do it on my own. I'm finding that there are a lot of things that I didn't do in school that I am now wishing I would have. Anyway, there are lots of job opportunities for tech writers out there. More so than for creative writers at least.
3. This is a new one. -- Get an internship -- So far I have applied to one... I still have to do some research on this one.
4. This is my most recent revelation. Something I have thought of in the past but never actually considered doing. Why? I don't know. -- Become a freelance writer -- I like this idea best so far. I mean, it's great for experience and it pays. I can still have a regular full time job and do this on the side. I still have to decide what kind of freelancing I want to get into and how to do it, but I will figure it out.
It's easy for me to plan out ways to get started on my career. The hard part is actually doing it. Sure, I plan on saving money, but I love to spend, so how much money can I realistically save in a year? Also, I can apply to internships all I want, but there is no guarantee that I'll get one. And then there's the whole problem of trying to find one that allows me to stay in Tampa.
I can make a resume for freelancing and put myself out there, but there are hundreds, thousands of other freelancers out there...
I'm not trying to be negative here... But I suppose I am aren't I. I'm just gonna go for it and see what I get.
