The Children Are Expecting Me, So Please Come To Your Senses

Though the state of Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, and the other of the big 3 children's networks looks dire, as does publishing superhero books, if you're an aspiring creator, or writer, or author, there's a lot of awesome stuff in growing industries you can still do. Career-Wise, you WANT TO be a generalist, not a "Specifist" or Specialist.

Things any writer, artist, or creator can still do:

• Write a book or novel (a REAL book or novel. None of this light novel crap)
• Author your own webcomic, and publish it to a website
• Draw manga in the United States for just about any publisher of World Manga, who ISN'T Tokyopop.
• Write a script of just about any sort (Comics, Movies, TV, Animation, Anime). Scripts lead to work more often than portfolios.
• Broadcast content online (Be a general content provider. Even smaller content providers online like myself have their place in the industry. Don't let the trashtalkers fool you.
• Sell an idea to up and coming animation studios in America or France. Not Japan though. Sorry. Even the BIGGEST diehard down syndrome Bleachtard can probably see Japan kinda has its hands full at the moment, due to how much demand shows like Naruto and Bleach drum up each year online.
