--- Quote from: Toycoon on July 17, 2007, 01:03:48 am ---I am a full time toy designer for one of the largest toy companies in the world.
I sell stuff on eBay, too (doesn't everyone?). I don't have time for much else except toy collecting.
I am fortunate enough to be doing exactly what I've always wanted to do. Believe me, I was born to make toys!

Toycoon--What a great job!! Question for a toy designer--Did you love the movie "BIG"? (I did.) Also--I saw previews for "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium" and it looks like a lot of fun--have you seen anything about that one? Dustin Hoffman is in it.

Hi Shasta, Yes, I saw the movie "Big" before I started working in the industry. It is similar to what was shown in the movie but vastly different, too. There are a great deal more people devoted to designing toys these days. Marketing hasn't changed all that much though there are some good people working there, too!
Never heard of "Mr. Majorium's Wonder Emporium". When does it debut?

You have a real artistic flair, Dottie, and an enormous propensity for bringing joy to others. :D
IMHO you would make a wonderful proprietor of a trendy little gallery. Or the owner of a cute little cafe in a hip part of town. I bet you'd attract a loyal clientele in no time. :D
serious crayons:
What do you do?
Freelance writer.
More than one thing?
Well, more than one kind of writing. Articles, essays, book reviews, etc. I also care for two rowdy sons.
Work at home?
Yup.
Seasonal work? FT, PT, variable, on call, hourly?
PT writing, FT parenting.
Are you doing what you wanted to do?
Yes, but I'm not making as much money at it as I'd like.
Would you prefer some other line of work?
No, but I will soon be needing something more remunerative -- either more freelance assignments or something FT.
