One of the world’s most useless (if not the) majors is actually creative writing. Now before you flame, stone, or deem me ignorant, allow me to explain. I don’t look down upon creative writing, literature, or English in any way, shape, or form. If I did, I wouldn’t be writing.
However, I will say, that my major is so lame, I rarely actually say I am a creative writer. I always say, “I am an English major,” and then after more conversing, “I want to be a creative writer (science fiction and fantasy) and I minor in journalism.” Heh. TWoP’s (Television Without Pity) True Life thread decided that one of the documentaries could be devoted to useless majors and English was one of them.
Its true, its somewhat has the suggestion of couch potato-ey leech that lives off others, forever…trapped in mediocrity and do-nothingness. Does that make sense?
Yeah, I suppose all that rings true for me and I am just projecting that onto to others. Sorry, fellow English/Creative Writers/Journalists. I’ve been working on this one draft of this story ever since high school and have written several versions of the same prologue. Unfortunately, I am having trouble getting past the planning stage–trouble I would not have, if say, I could animate or direct someone else to do my bidding.
Problem with that is, I have zero leadership qualities. I am the most unqualified leader ever, period.
But still, I am hoping that some day, I can publish several books and live off the licensing and royalties they ever if they are ever successful. I just hope I can remember whom to thank. ; )
Note, if I weren’t a creative writer, then I would be a comm studies major. Why? Well, to save Cartoon Network/Adult Swim/Toonami from themselves. How can good things sour so damn quick? Return to 1998-1999, all of you.
