I am not this Howard but I am on the Gulf Coast learning to be the Vice Presidaent of America so I can help you. Howard Taylor 1628 Mauna Kea Ct. Gulf Breeze Fl/ 32563.
The main thing that discourages me, is that it seems like the only things I really feel "passionate" about are pretty much playing video games and some board games. And that's about it and regardless of any time spent on these subjects it's exceedingly unlikely I'll ever be able to do much productive with it. I'm an okay writer but I don't have nearly the passion for it that someone like Brandon Sanderson does (the man loves writing!) or even someone like Dan Wells or less successful writers :-(
@matrixinterface There are such things as video game testers and designers, programmers, writers, etc. Maybe you could look into that? On the other hand, video games are known to be addictive. Maybe the games have just been overpowering other interests. You haven't experienced everything in life, after all!
@sariahsue Well that is a valid point. Maybe there is some sort of profession or talent out there that I just haven't tried yet and I need to look around for. I do love teaching and have a degree in it. Unfortunately, trying to teach in public schools these days is an exercise in frustration and futility. But it would be nice to have something else to feel passionate about besides playing games :-/
I am very thankful for the work Howard Taylor put into this presentation. It has helped put into words things that I have wanted to understand for a long time. Thank you Howard if you can read this.

I was lucky enough to hear this live at Conduit 2009 in SLC. It was so insightful I had to try to mentally reconstruct it to describe it to my wife.
Glad to find a source to see it again.
