Serial monogonist. I like that. I think that's the way to go, at least personally. I envy people like newmom, who have a long-lived passion. I know what you mean about being a novelist (or writer in general). Good luck, indeed. I don't usually wish luck to capable people, but there is such an element that is out of your control.
I think under different circumstances going with the hardest pick might have worked well for me. Alas, by the time I started college, I had a horrible attitude towards school.
I guess that's what's killing me now -- things that I've seen as personality flaws, I'm now realizing actually have at least some degree of cheetah-in-the-cage syndrome. Ah, well. We can only move forward.
