    My name is Lee and I'm twenty. That hasn't left me with adequate time to develop a plan for life. I mean, do most people that age fully comprehend what's best for their life and what is a pipe dream? In any case, I'd like to preferably live comfortably in a position that I could write books, have them read by a wide audience, and make acceptable to adequate money. At the same time, preference and reality don't readily come together well. I think it was easier when I wanted to rule the world with my wielded plastic shovel and watch Reading Rainbow around noon.

    Because it sounded like a definitive enough time lol I don't recall specific times. The only ones I typically do are for the television shows I had to force myself to wake up at six for on a weekends.

    The only thing I write are potential books. It was somthing I promised my Dad before he passed that I was going to do. Although he didn't emediately believe me, I'm trying to keep that promise.

    Well, I mean potential as in possible. I have three possible books I could work on. Mostly, I write current date stories revolving around fictionalized crime. I'm a particular fan on Michael Mann projects to include Miami Vice and Collateral. He in my opinion has perfected stylistically the theme of modern cops and robbers.

    I'm 17. Grammar and spelling are easy for me compared to literally anything else, so I'd like to major in English, then move in to a small house on Mackinac Island and write literally anything from there. I just love the feel of my fingers hitting the keys on a keyboard, no matter what I'm doing.

    I also like to draw here and there. I've become fairly good and I like comics. So if I ever get bored with writing, maybe I could write out one of my stories in comic form.

    why Mackinack Island in particular?
    I love the idea of drawing to illustrate my work but I can't draw to save my life.
    You are so lucky you could do both.
    I reckon everyone should take up drawing lessons as part of their writing experience and or enjoyment.

    I'm 22 and my ideal job would be teaching English as a foreign language. I have always wanted to see more of the world outside the sleepy village I live in and I am passionate about teaching. Hopefully my dream will come true one day, I have just started my degree so I feel I am finally making steps toward my goal!

    22. My ideal job is to be a teacher or a librarian.

    If I could be a teacher or a librarian while writing stories on the side, my life will be complete. 8D

    8D is a smiling icon on the side. The "8", to me represents glasses as I have them.

    As a socially inept eighteen-year-old, I'd love to live off selling t-shirts with my designs (I'm not actually selling them yet). Other than that, I can't wait to become a high school teacher, and I'm also looking for a job in journalism for this spring.

    23 1/2 here but I still feel like a kid. Currently a stay at home wife but I previously worked as an assistant supervisor at a local bank, and until recently as a federal administrative employee for a military housing office.

    I decided to take a break from traditional work settings so I can pursue a degree in something creative writing related. I spend a lot of time at home writing.

    I also spend way too much time on the internet.
