I have zero ambition.  I'm too content where I am, jobless and living with my parents.  I know I can't live like this forever, but I can't seem to do anything about it.

I looked up "ambition" on Google.  Apparently, there are four music albums and two songs with that name, plus an expansion pack for The Sims 3.  There's no Wikipedia page on the emotion itself.  I guess finding ambition isn't that easy.

I think I must be a hero sprite.  (Those of you who aren't familiar with an old webcomic called Kid Radd, just ignore that part; it won't make sense to you.)

If it's of any significance, I enjoy following directions, and making order out of chaos.  I do much of my family's grocery shopping because I've got a clear list of things to track down, and I'm a good cook when I've got a recipe to follow.

...in other news...

I've been checking out :icondeviantuniverse: due to a DA friend of mine being a member of it.  Because the group's character template included a mandatory picture of the character drawn by the creator, I asked what if any accommodations would be made for a creator who wasn't any good at drawing (such as myself).  This was the response:
The DU is a group for artists to hone their skills by completing the monthly challenges. If you are unable to provide a character illustration as per the template guidelines, then this may not be the group for you.
For some reason this left me feeling rather defeated, albeit not really surprised.  I wonder if there are any similar groups for which this isn't true.

Ahem anyway this is what I have to say for you truly. You have what many would call a Magpie heart, you are quite simply content with life's little pleasures. So I say why stress over it, writing is definitely your strong point and I can sense you do have the ambition to write a truly fantastic tale, though it begs the question what genre to write? Where to begin. This where instinct takes over, where you no longer need your brain power of detailed thinking.

This is what I would do, if you can not let your instinctive mind choose think up every genre you can imagine and write it on paper. Then put it in a container like a hat, role a dice to choose how many genreas you will pick out from the container. That way fate will choose a path for you and if it goes no where you try again.

When you finish then try to find a publisher. Id also advise getting a simple job to pay the bills till then, and for that well all I can say it you cant be choosey get what ever is on offer.
