Oh wow, thanks for the replies!

I wasn't planning to make money selling fiction, I wanted to be a ghostwriter and write fiction just for fun along the way. But I don't feel good about the ghostwriter part anymore now. No actually I feel completely crappy about it.

And I have no stories to tell. It's more that when in real life something happens, I'll automatically imagine a scene out of that "oh cool, would be nice to have a guy doing this and that, and then this and that happens.." I laugh at that thought for a moment, ha ha ha, and then forget about it. Or when I'm sitting in a train and look at the people around me, I always imagine who they are, where they are going and why, how their life is, I see them having breakfast (did you ever realize how many different ways there are to have breakfast??), or give them a choleric husband and money worries or make them to secret agents in undercover mission. Makes me grin. But that's it. Just playin' around.

It's not a calling, I have no consistent fantasy world. It's not the one thing I love either, I have no one thing that I love.

I feel like I am a pleasant but useless fellow. Not that I'm totally worthless, I have some great strengths. I'm highly sensitive, very empathic, curious and a great learner. I can and enjoy learning just everything from how to repare a car to quantum physics. I just don't like to use what I learned repeatedly I have no clue how to make money with these attributes.

Strokes, I didn't want to be a writer. It wasn't something I was dreaming of. I just knew it. I was dreaming of being an astronaut, and later a kryptoanalyst, btw
