Dilemma:
1. a situation requiring a choice between equally undesirable alternatives.
2. any difficult or perplexing situation or problem.

Quandary:
1. a state of perplexity or uncertainty, especially as to what to do; dilemma.

You’re welcome to choose the word you prefer, but for this situation there isn’t much of a quantifiable difference. And the name, A Copy Editor’s Dilemma, is meant to be for an on-going series, and the specific word may not be the perfect choice 100% of the time.

I appreciate being a stickler for the details, and you offering a suggestion, but maybe you can save the snark for when it’s really warranted. Just sayin’.

Isn’t that a copy editor’s quandary, not dilemma?

Hey klep,

Yeah, fortunately for me someone actually decided I was worth marrying, so any traveling I do will not be solo to begin with, and I know people scattered all over, so hopping from couch to couch won’t be too hard.

One thing I don’t recommend is traveling alone. It gets boring fairly quickly. Try and visit a load of people on the way and just meeting random people is often fun. Also make sure you have a goal for a trip, so a sense of achievement will go with it, rather than no sense of closure.

Write a story about someone’s life? Real people, imaginary people, you… whoever. Maybe in doing so you’ll find out more about what you think you should or shouldn’t be doing.

The only thing I can think of is this: do what you want to. Chase after your dreams and all that good stuff. I guess the next thing I’d have to tell you is not exactly happy. (Sorry, but I have to be honest.)

As one of my favorite bands once said, “Dreams cost money, and money costs some dreams.”

Basically, do as much of what you want to do as you can. (Given obvious moral and ethical boundaries.) But in the end, you can’t do everything. Sorry. Didn’t mean to go all depressing-realization on your ass.
