Hey everyone, these are a few of the ideas I have. I’d like to know which of these would work.

1) I’ve worked as a freelance ghostwriter since I was 12. I write blog posts for corporations to use and sell them via content mills. I am a ghostwriter, so I sell away my byline when I sell content. I learned a LOT of lessons about finances, effective writing, communication, and developing an audience very early on as a result.

2) I write poetry. I joined a poetry website when I was 10 and gained a reasonably large following quite quickly, and I still post there sometimes. I’m optimistic about publication in my school literary journal, not too sure about others. I am interested in narrative medicine.

3) I cultivate my own aquarium and am interested in ichthyology. I know a lot about what fish should live together and shouldn’t, regulating pH and light in an aquarium, organizing a tank with an even number of bottom feeders and top swimmers, etc.

All of these have taught me how to put the puzzle pieces together, so to speak — each requires critical thinking and crafting, and each uses small pieces and insights to make a final product. I wrote my college essays about my mental writing process and they were well-received. I am confident I would be able to write about these well.

Thank you for your thoughts!
