Reinvention is a process that, from the outside, we might see as instantaneous. The played-out Before and the resurgent After sit side by side as in a dandruff shampoo ad. But from the inside it must often feel like a drawn-out, wavering thing: Do I? Should I? Must I?
Right now I can sympathize. I am on strike from my occupation of 30 years: writing questions for Jeopardy!, which I had planned on staying with until I retire. With childlike faith I continue to count on returning to the beloved job and paycheck, but it is starting to stir in my mind that I may have to step into a new part of my life instead. Naturally, I have been thinking about some self-reinventors that I might once have built a category around (and may again?). INVENTION in the first round-don't I have a good Thomas Edison clue in the unused bin? REINVENTION in the second round-still some ideas in the tank.
