I’ve been writing since I was in high school. But they were mostly journal entries, either in my diary or by way of blog entries. To give me credit, a large amount of my blog content in college was dedicated to creative writing.
Writing about other types of non-fiction just did not occur to me. Truthfully, I used to hate them in high school. Obviously, I’ve outgrown that hatred. In college, I feel like I immersed myself little by little to different types of literary pieces that I’ve come to appreciate most of them. Although to date, I still haven’t read a memoir, apart from The Diary of Anne Frank.
Recently, I have been writing again. And I love it. Sometimes I don’t really like the end result that much. I try to get better. I reread my previous works after a day or two and I make mental notes of how I can improve next time.
Regardless, I always feel joy that I was able to write something.
In fact, as my writing momentum was increasing, I decided to give something new a try. My boyfriend introduced me to Medium, so I decided to write an advice article.
Unexpectedly, the article went better than I expected the day after I publish it. To top it off, the next day, I received requests from two different editors to submit my article to their publication. I read them the moment I woke up, what a start to my day!
Now, my article can be read from The Startup on Medium.
