You get the same salary you are on now, but you can do anything creative, what would you pick?

I would pick writing teen fiction books, it's my dream career, I've just started to write a book

I would be paid to make up paint colour names. Whoever made up Elephant's Breath and Mouse's Back is a genius but it's a rich seam to be tapped and I would enjoy it very much... 'Stoat's Toe Beige'... 'Bovril Whisper Brown' etc etc.

In fact, should Mumsnet ever launch a paint brand I'm throwing my hat in the ring now with 'Umber Chicken For A Family of Eight', 'Loo Brush Anger Yellow' and, simply, 'Unreasonable Blue'.

If not that then, like you, OP, writing children's books. Slightly creepy ones. With wolves. I'd like to be a Joan Aiken for the 21st century.
