On Writing
Q. Which helps you more with your writing: The logic of your IT career for creating plot, or the psychology degree for creating character??
To be honest, I have to say that my psychology degree, along with many years spent as a crisis hotline volunteer has proven immensely valuable in developing deep, multi-faceted characters. Every writer has to find her or his own path of artistic development, so a psychology degree may not be for everyone, but I would absolutely encourage at least some study of psychology, whether it is formal or informal.
