What's the best job for a creative artsy person that can't paint,draw,sculpt etc.?

Question

I like to write also,but never can write a story past 20 notebook pages.

Answer 1

How about going into design. You could be an interior decorator, either independently or for a store. Do you have an interest in computers? You could go into web page design. The advertising field is another avenue that you might feel appealing.

Don't put yourself down by negatively advertising your lack of artistic skill. Advertise your flair for art, design, perhaps even drama. What you demonstrate is what people will believe.

Answer 2

Let me preface this by saying that I am not being sarcastic here:

Critic!

If you sincerely love the lifestyle but cannot contribute to it in any other way, learn the history, the various perspectives, the historical perspective, and at least one valid way to quantify that what you wish to be an expert of, and critique it. Being a critic isn't just passing judgement on something, it's also helping people to understand and appreciate what you appreciate. It is a thankless job because everyone who disagrees with you will hate you, but it is also a fulfilling job because when you do it right, you are bringing quality up to the front of the pile and helping people who may not have enough time on their own, discover what is worthwhile to spend time on.

Answer 3

i'm in the same boat, except that i do have talent - it's focus i lack. i want to write and illustrate children's stories, but i don't have the time, and i need a lot of it to get the ball rolling. i have boxes of stuff in storage i started years ago that one day, god-willing, will be put to good use. i tend to be more inspired by a like minded person - someone to bounce ideas off of, to colaborate with. perhaps you could get a job in a library - try taking the civil service test for a government job. yeah, they're evil, but the pay and benefits will help you sleep better.

Answer 4

Graphic Designer

Answer 5

Write kids books. They are happy and whimsical, or dark and scary...whatever you like ,but they are usually very short and the publishers will assign your story(ies) an illustrator if they publish you.
That's what I do, even though I can draw pretty well, because illustrating a whole kids book takes too much effort for me. I sent the basic idea for what I wanted my main character to look like though, and they used that to get ideas for the rest.

Answer 6

if you dont know how to draw paint or sculpt then may write short poems and as you said, you can be as creative as you want with it, or you can write songs or cook.

Answer 7

is there some magic force that stops you from writing more than 20 pages? no! just write 20 pages a day....is that so hard to do?? no! and yes ,writing is a creative force...among cooking,fighting,photography,love,ect ect ect.......dont be so mean to yourself...

Answer 8

The perfect job is to try to learn all of those things that u dont know how to do and i promise u that u will get better.

Answer 9

Have you thought about working with kids as a teacher. Or working at a camp as an art director or teacher.
