major life decision
Which Second City class do I want to take? The writing one or the improv one? The improv one sounds like more fun, with games and running around and interacting with people, but I'm a writer not an actor and maybe sketch writing will turn out to be "my thing." I've always been decent at dialogue, and I actually have professional humor writing experience. But writing is so solitary, even in a class, and part of why I want to do this thing is to meet people, and one of the other teachers at work took the improv one and loved it. I'm way too torn and running out of time to make my decision.
What do you think?

Take the improv class.
* It's not like you'll be abandoning yourself as a writer. You'll do writerly things no matter what, because it is your nature.
* Forcing yourself into something new will almost certainly be refreshing and energizing. (And, hey, might just give you ideas for writing.)
* Acting experience can only help you with theatrical writing if you decided to get into that.
* In the unlikely event that you wind up hating it, you'll have the redemptive option of next time taking a class that you know you'd do well in.
* You deserve more fun.
