What I would like to do

I would really love to be on the creative side of advertising working as a writer. The idea of always thinking on my toes and coming up with new, innovative ideas is appealing to me. Sure there's a great deal of pressure, but that's what makes it exciting! I cannot really see myself doing the same routine everyday working 9-5... I hate routines. I've also always enjoyed languages and words and English class has always been my favorite. I will quote anything and everything from commercials, movies, etc...I feel this job is also a good fit because it is very hands-on. Many times the writers will be involved in casting calls and shoots along with the art directors. I think the most interesting thing about this job is the amount of freedom. No one is making you lock yourself up in a cubicle by yourself. I really like the fact that you are surrounded by people at all times. You are part of a pair with the art director and you still get to work with account people, producers, buyers, etc... Creatives also need to be able to listen to others' opinions and thoughts and not be single-minded. I love hearing what other people have to say and what other people are thinking because it helps me improve on my own ideas. Guess we will have to wait and see...
