The past month, I’ve been doing
articles rather than stories. Yes, articles; the one thing that I was afraid of
doing but kept on pursuing. It’s not that I really love doing it; I just love
learning, especially when it comes to writing.
Since I’m already good in writing
stories poems and other literary stuffs, I’ve decided that I should learn a new
thing. A thing that might bring me excessive joy or somewhat destroy me. They say
that articles are just informative sentences that have subheads and other
stuffs; but when I started doing it, it was something else.
The first article I made was the “Tambayan”
article; it was a collaboration. My partner was a really good article writer. I
couldn’t complain. Though some of my good critics said that it wasn’t very
good; but it wasn’t bad either. I have the potential in writing articles,
really good ones. I became optimistic about the idea of me writing articles
rather than writing literary stuffs… or maybe got a little over optimistic about
it.
This past two weeks, I’ve been
assigned to do another article; it was another collaboration. I really did my
best in my part; though I was really struggling as hell. I don’t know what to
do. Well, I’m new to this; but I wanted to act like I’m a veteran writer of
this section. But I guess courage and self-determination is not enough. I need
to have article writing skills which I don’t really have.
I love writing. Writing has given
opportunities and achievements. Not to mention the amazing people I met: Editors,
Co-writers and friends; especially two of them namely Clariele and MJ. Those two
ladies really stood by me in the darkness which lures me every time I feel
discouraged.
If I am really the person who’ll
do everything to learn, then I’ll do my best in the remaining time of the
vacation. I need to improve. I need to prove to them I can. I need to learn. For
the better and for the people who cares.
Stay delightful, ruler!
