Thanksgiving Advent, Day One: My Job

Disabled

I’m going to take a page from John Scalzi’s book (or rather, site), and try to do a “Thanksgiving Advent,” where I post each day about something I’m thankful for.

Given that I just came back from World Fantasy, it seems appropriate to start with my job. It has its downsides, but at the end of the day (which is usually when I go to work…) — man, I get paid to make stuff up. And not just any stuff, but fantasy worlds packed as full of wonder as I can make them.

That’s pretty goddamned amazing, that is, and I hope never to lose sight of that fact.

    So beautifully put, Marie! 🙂

    You get paid to make stuff up, in fantasy worlds packed as full of wonder as you can make them.

    Are you really, really sure that you’re not secretly a commentator for Fox News? Or at least a frequent guest on Fox and Friends?

      Nonono — wonder, not bullshit, outrage, and manufactured fear. They are not the same.

        They certainly are inside the Beltway. And I notice that you did not answer the question directly, either, thereby confirming my inference… <vbeg>

          There is no answer I can make to this that you can’t spin around to interpret as proof of your point — including this very sentence. (Maybe YOU work for Fox News!)

            No, I don’t work for Fox News. But I had to be nice to Roger Ailes a lot when was in DC, so I’m afraid I’m not surprised by anything coming out of Fox News…
