i feel like i'm supposed to DO something with my life and i feel like i won't be doing something in publishing.
i mean, i will. it's the coolest job in the world and it would make me forever interesting.
but ugh, i feel i'm meant to do something smaller and at the same time, bigger, in the big scheme of things.
i feel selfish for wanting to do publishing.
i'm supposed to do something else, i think.
i'm supposed to help people. make the world a little bit better.
helping to create novels helps in an escapist sort of way. it's art. it's wonderful.
but maybe less tangible and maybe less real than what i'm meant for.
does that make any sense?
I think its important to remember that when you make a decision like going into publishing, it's not set in stone. You can always do it for a while and then turn to something else if you feel you should. Also you can make a big difference in the world and help people in addition to publishing. Follow your gut, and it will lead you to what you are meant to do.
