Brainstorming Week Twelve, continued

Posted on DateThursday, March 7, 2013 at 7:39AM in ,
  • DO NOT MAKE THIS STORY ABOUT A WRITER. Too easy. No one cares.
  • What are some other professions that you have to “earn” your way into while making ends meet doing something else?
  • Photographer, visual artist, online business owner, entrepreneur, musician, screenwriting (SCREENWRITERS ARE ALSO WRITERS!; you fool)...
  • Musician as main character would work well on stage. Hmm.
  • Entrepreneur could be interesting too. Like a scene from Glengarry Glen Ross except one person alone in their home office.
  • Probably that’s more interesting than the struggling musician.
