The Creativity Drive
In the past few weeks I've really been considering what to do with myself. I know that sounds strange, but think about it. I'm currently in the middle of learning how to be a Librarian. It isn't as easy as it sounds. There is a lot more to it than people might think. There's even a whole course subject devoted to it at the Open Polytechnic, and that's just the beginning!
I'm also learning how to be an entry-level Auditor. Now you're really rolling around laughing, aren't you? What does a creative person want with such a process orientated role? Its simple, really. In order to get to where I want to be, I have to start somewhere. I love this process orientated job, where I check that the contracts are actually correct. We're not as pedantic about it as some major banks, but we're good at spotting faults in our operators. Though I'm not telling you the name of the company, I can still give you a general idea where I work, which isn't confidential. I'm not going to put everything online! Sorry to disappoint, folks.
As I was saying. An Auditor is a very process orientated role, whereby I'm looking for faults. it kinda applies to my writing too. Writers look for faults in completed works (I'm not going to claim I've completed anything more than a short story). The faults writers look for are quite different. Is this spelt correctly, does the grammar work, does this story make sense? Where did this giant plot-hole induced trauma come from? Oh look, there's another plot bunny I have to go and catch before I run out of places to put it in my story!
Hmph. I'm still learning. I'm not perfect. But I'm learning a lot and I hope you'll enjoy learning with me, whether you like it or not.
Read and enjoy,
