Interests

[jedibuttercup]

Well, The Ruins of Dantooine won't go on my list of books to reread, but it wasn't bad, either. Adequate exploration of a side-adventure in the larger universe, and the main character was likeable enough. I enjoyed the glimpses we got of Naboo and Dantooine, and the flyby clips of several of the main Star Wars characters. The plot was fairly predictable, though, and there were a couple of Mary Sue-ish moments that made me wince. So. On to Splinter of the Mind's Eye.

Did I mention yet how much I love finally having time to read? I used to be known as the girl who'd devour five books a week, but it's been down to a couple a month since I graduated college. *sigh* Welcome to the Real World, I know. You'd think I'd have adjusted to it after four years, but I don't think I'll ever accept the working world as my natural environment. It just doesn't fit.

I've seen the interests meme going around ... here's my version:

Time for some more job-hunting, I suppose. I'll update more later.

Maybe YOU need to become a librarian. :)

Oh wait, librarians never have time to read either. Scratch that.

A book editor?

Book Editor

[jedibuttercup]

If I could have an ideal job that wasn't either (a) eternal student or (b) novelist, it would be book editor. Of course, every time I look up the intermediate stages usually traversed to get there, I wince. Journalism type jobs are so not where my strengths lie, but they're valuable stepping stones in that industry, I hear.

Librarian wouldn't be bad. Researcher in a museum would be more my speed, though. Not just books ... tons of old, musty stuff to dig through and quantify ... *sigh* That's the anthropologist in me speaking, though, and I'd need a Masters I can't afford to get for that kind of career.
