Writer's Block: School Ties
What is (or was) your college major? Do you use it for your career?
I have a BFA in Theatre Arts: Design and Production with a concentration in Scenic Painting. Aka, I went to school to learn how to paint sets for theatres.
And something that surprises even me: I am a professional Scenic Painter.
Even better, I am the head of my department at the state theatre of NC, the Scenic Charge. Last season I charged 17 shows in 10 months, this year it is going to be 18. There were times where I didn't have a day off for 28 days... I think that was the most I counted.
Anyways. Yes, I am in my field. I get to paint all day long, in comfy clothes. WHAT IS A NORMAL WORKING ENVIRONMENT.
Some day I want to write a fic about everything... that happens on a daily basis in a theatre. Theatre is a crazy place.
