Hello, currently finishing up my final year of High School and planning to major in English when I go to college next year. Now, at the moment, I'm currently pretty fixated on becoming a High School teacher - but - I am still open to careers that may interest me. Because, well, I love to game and have actually co-founded a few websites in my day (yes, .com and everything. But that was just youthful ambition without any follow through). I know that there is the basic story writing, but that can't be it - can it? I'm a fairly decent writer (but, as I've realized, most writers are all equally high on their horse), and am currently working on a novel that - as of this posting - hasn't been picked up by an agency. That is just a pet project though. So some insight would be excellent from anyone willing.

R,
Your question is a little confusing. Your subject line mentioned [music?] composition, but your post seems to be solely about writing, so it's not crystal clear what you're asking.

If you want to make music for games, get a music degree for starters.

I'm sorry, I meant composition from a literary standpoint. My question was pretty much, other than writing stories for games, what else there was available. Upon reading the link you supplied, "Writing For Games" it seems fairly clear that most of the other writing positions I'm familiar with (copy writer, marketing ect) seem to fuse into this industry as well. I was just curious if the game industry had anything unique (not saying writing for games isn't unique in itself) pertaining to writing.

Thanks for your help, even if my question was muddled :)

And how helpful was the forum FAQ?
