I would like to have a career some day, not a job. There is a difference between the two. I have been doing a lot of thinking about what I would like to do and my decision has been made. I want to pursue a writing career. Although I do have two writing jobs I want to be published enough to make a good living off my writing. The next decision I need to make is what subject do I want to write about. I cannot write about mental illness, concurrent disorders, addiction, and alcoholism because there will not be enough places to get published and earn a living off it. To my knowledge there is only one magazine in North America on the subject of mental illness and I am not sure about addiction and alcoholism.
So, I need to pick a subject and this will have to be my next decision. I've been mulling over different subjects in my mind. I have a keen interest in many different topics. Some of the subjects I have been mulling over are:
- Computers and technology.
- Science.
- Nature and conservation.
- Global warming.
- Fishing
- Music and guitars.
- Paranormal
- Philosophy
This is not going to be an easy decision to make. I am not going to let my OCD interfere with making my decision and once it is made I will not let my OCD make me change my mind. I am determined to make the decision and stick to it come hell or high water. Nothing will get in my way.
I have faith, hope, and courage because recovery is truly possible.
