What historical event fascinates you the most?
Since the late 1930’s, instead of trick-or-treating on Halloween, those in Des Moines, Iowa have celebrated what they call “Beggars’ Night,” which seems a lot like trick-or-treating, except they celebrate near but not on Halloween. Apparently, this year, Des Moines celebrated its tradition on October 31st for the first time since it started.
What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in?
Alternative to what? Does each and every person have a mainstream career option and also have “alternative” career options?
I used to want to be a licensed psychological counselor who also happens to be a writer.
Now, I’m an experienced writer but never a licensed psychologist, and I think I can write more intelligently about the subject of counseling psychology than a licensed psychologist who’s an amateur writer could.
