Short Story / Sold Out: six-word memoir contest

Thanks. Because corporate America is oftentimes the opposite of “artistic” types, that is how I sold out. Instead of possibly living a starving artist’s lifestyle as I tried to write creative pieces or fiction… I instead used my writing capabilities in corporate America where the pay is good and the work is steady.

Hi, thanks for your review. When I refer to corporate America, it’s not about selling out and giving my business to a big giant like Wal-Mart…  what I meant was that instead of pursuing a career as a writer/artist, I instead chose a career in corporate America as the way to use my writing skills…  because the money is better in corporate America.  So, perhaps I do ned to reword it to be clearer…  but it wouldn’t be reworded to include reference to patronizing a big giant like wal-Mart. Different meaning to my corporate America than what you took it to mean…  that’s all.  Thanks.
