Me, I’ve been told I’ve got some minor talent at writing. However, my life is such that I have a lot of feelings that I just struggle to put into words. I suppose I’d be a great writer if I could, but until then, what I have just seems… inadequate. I feel like I really want to be a great graphic artist instead; then I could really express myself in a way that I’m not skilled enough to do right now.
On the other hand, if I weren’t a good writer, I wouldn’t have the current job that I like so much, but still, this is only a hypothetical question. So what is it for the rest of you? Graphic art? If so, what kind? Music? What discipline? Poetry?
I’d like to be a “master” movie director. I think great directors have an artistic vision and somehow they’re able to capture that vision using so many parts (actors, cinematography, costumes, action, writing, sound, etc., etc., etc.). That, to me, seems to be incredibly difficult to do, so when it’s successfully done, is just outstanding.
I’d want to be the finest composer of classical music. Back in high school I had fantasies that I was discovered composing music for 100-piece symphonies that were incredible. Now, I look back and think how silly that was, but still, it’d be cool to be able to do that.
Either that, or be a master font designer. The world needs something other than Comic Sans, Times, Tekton, and Arial.
This is patently untrue. Simetra has the most beautiful voice that I have ever heard; I melted the first time he sang for me (and I’ve continued to do so every time I’ve heard him sing since.) Even if I wasn’t completely in love with him, I’d still be sure that he has a perfect voice and I’d still love listening to him sing. [/mushy girlfriend mode]
I’d like to be able to write. I used to love writing – and I used to be praised for it constantly in school – but the words just don’t come to me any more. I think I peaked too early.
