Art #1

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!
