I have an idea for a poll (inspired by this one and it's comments), but first need some data. So: what career(s) did you seriously consider in your youth? Lets say school-age, 5-17, since before that you're too young to know much, and after that you've plausibly started actually training for it. Any extra interesting information you feel like adding is welcome :)

Myself? In order: Writer, teacher(from early childhood till I did work experience as a teacher in year 11 :)), actor/comedian, astronomer/theoretical physicist (which lasted until my first astronomy lecture in second year :/)

Plus lots of vague ponderings that didn't last long.

And of course I got to combine a lot of these working at Scitech, which was fun for a while but reaffirmed that I do not, in fact, want to be a teacher or actor. Doing My Phd, and my webcomic, have somewhat satisfied the writing bug too.

So, inspired by [livejournal.com profile] nano_wrimo and [livejournal.com profile] thebabygrind, I decided to set myself the goal of one comic (or at least picture) per day of November. I did one on Halloween as a spare, and one yesterday, but haven't been bothered today. There's still a few hours left!

Anyway, the resulting comic from yesterday. I like how a few years of drawing ACOS has really improved my ability to draw things the way I want first time, even if the images themselves aren't all that much better.

Todays comic.

Well, that's already double my expected comics output for November right there :) And hey, I'm nearly at 50! (this one says it's 50, but that's just due to some being deleted and reposted) Given that I started drawing these in 1994, at my average rate it should only take me another year or two to get there, sweet! (Or a few days if I keep up with this. Hahahaha)
