Something I Really Wanted But Never Got

Writing Prompt: Think about something you once wanted so badly but never acquired. Write about how you think your life would have been different if you had received what your heart desired.

I really wanted to be a reporter for a newspaper or Editor of my own magazine. I wish I would have went to a bigger college and got my Bachelor's in Journalism/Creative Writing. I should have begged the Editor of a local paper for a job. An Associates of Arts Degree doesn't open that many doors. I took a job at a Nursing Home and have been in Nursing ever since. Sure, I got my QMA but Nursing isn't what I wanted.

If I would have gotten the job as a reporter, I may have had my own magazine by now and written as many novels as Danielle Steel. I keep telling myself that I am writing now. I have a novel out in print and maybe I will have 2 novels out in print soon. I write here at Writing.com I still have my Nursing job and I wish I was writing full time for a living but maybe that will happen someday, yet. I guess we all have if only's in life. My career choice is my biggest regret outside of a few lousy ex-boyfriends but that is another story. I am on the right path to writing now and I have to focus on that. Thank goodness, I took up writing and didn't let it die.
