Looking for the Road Signs

So, I'm at a crossroads....I am looking for the road signs to tell me which drection o go in next.  Do I stay in Sales?  Do I pursue a job in writing?  At this point, with a good severance package coming, I am about ready to sit on my butt and do nothing.  What do I really WANT to do?  In a perfect world, I would stay at home with the new baby, and write this blog everyday.  Or I would just be working on a novel.  Or just writing--something-anything-everything.  In a pefect world, someone from Hollywood will discover this blog and offer to turn it into a screenplay, or a SITCOM.  How about that:  My Life as a Sitcom--The Sitcom.  (I think Paul Giamatti should play me...or Bruce Willis..) Whoever plays me should definitely have more hair.  Just not Justin Bieber hair.

    A friend of mine from the singles ward went through a similar cross-roads a few years ago when I first met her. This is her blog about it http://brookmecham.blogspot.com/2010/09/connecting-dots.html
    You may find it interesting.

    I wonder if there is something in the middle - something with more stability than blogging and hoping and with less soul-sucking than a sales job you hate. I think the perfect job isn't necessarily the job I fantasize about (for me that would be stage managing touring Broadway productions). I think that the real perfect job is the job that fits in the middle of a venn diagram where the circles represent "I'm good at it", "It makes money/stability", and "I enjoy it". If you only have one or two of those things it's not the perfect job yet.

    This I say after about 8 weeks of looking for a job and no interviews. Not every theory is perfect :)
