And I Wonder If I Can Still Write

   Creative writing?

   Give me a break. Or should I say, I've been taking a long break?

   I somewhat envy my classmates who get to do some writing every now and then, no matter how I (and they) tell me that it is exhausting. Oh yes, I do agree, I've been through that before. But then again, it is still enjoyable and rewarding.

   After taking up an entrance exam for a writing company, I just know deep inside that I've been collecting rust rather than being a well-oiled machine (writing wise). And hearing nothing from the company after almost a month just hurts--I admit--my ego.

   I've been writing through my journal, but it's a different thing. It's raw and too shabby. With no regards for technique (and or writing flare), I've been subjecting myself to it, that I'm finding a hard time to write a simple reaction paper, and make it come out as if a writer wrote it.

   Which led me to do what I just did. Blog this entry. And delete the previous blog I made. I'm having a fresh start, clicking the refresh button and starting from scratch. My intention from my last blog site was focused more on money making rather than self expressing. (I didn't make money though, I've not been too keen to update it regularly, and was even the venue of a failed experiment.)

   Don't expect me to write so well though. I still have to re-acquaint myself with writing. I also decided to do something extra, like post my experiments in videos and design. I'm not a professional, but I like doing it.

   So where was I again? Oh yeah, creative writing. This may not be creative writing, but this is writing, and this is a start. I can't promise to do a masterpiece right now, but at least I am writing. And for that, I want to smile. ^^,
