What Is "your Talent", I'm becoming worried.. Options

[Wurlon]

Throughout life I have heard the many speeches of "follow your dreams, do what you love, use a talent you have" and others ect. that I assume are used to guide you to a successful, happy life or career. Well that is hopefully, but my main question is how? I cannot find something that I love to do that could become a job, or a talent I have that is useful.. I mean I have (or I am supposed to have) a high intellect, so I could probably work my way into a moderate college. But I do not know what, I know I am quite young but just curious.

If not, feel free to post how you found your talent/talents or how you found a job you would love. Being a parent will be considered a job in here

We're our own worst critics. It's the ability to think your work always needs to improved that makes it better. It's natural to think your writing is not as good as it really is.

You're still young, don't worry about it. Writing is not something you're born with. If you love it, then do it despite how good other people are or how good you think you are. When you think a work is publishable, you publish it.

Coauthoring is done oftenly in the modern world but not usually one chapter each as it requires a lot of planning. Two minds not only create ideas faster but act as a quality control on each other making sure the bad ideas are weeded out. Usually though only one guy writes.

Well some critics get punched for being very bad, and I definitely do not punch myself.... I rather get all the credit for a book thought anyway, but I would be glad to hear stories and give opinions on them. I guess I'm just a wishy-washy person, one minute I feel "who gives a flying crap, I like my writing" and the next I will be "crap that Sara girl has amazing writing! wtf was I thinking?" so you get the idea. Sometimes I think I am psychotic, but I'm just not in agreeance (sp) with myself. Heh the one kid who is like the closest thing I have to a real friend was using my heritage or whatever it is named (where your bloodlines run off to , example Scottish-Scotland) to idenify most of my personality. I'm half polish, half irish and he is like , since your irish you are easy tempered and since you are polish you are very stubborn. I don't know what I just said that but I like it hah go figure.

I'd like to thank you guys for advice and stuff..... and those who actually bothered to post, for some reason no one ever posts after me when I start a topic...
