I like writing. This is why I never thought that I would grow so tired of it. After almost six months, I somehow managed to support myself with the small money that I make with writing. However, instead of me growing and honing my skills, I am doing otherwise. I am actually constipated by it.
There are even times that writing caused some of my minor anxiety attacks. This is because I am usually forced to write about things that I have no interest of. Furthermore, I need to write to match the comprehension level of the audience, which means I have to write like an ordinary person.
Yes, I have written for a more or less stupid audience. I once thought that being a freelance writer is something that I can be proud of, despite the word freelance being attached to the job title. Recently, I find myself squirming whenever I think of myself as one.
I would still like to write, but I don’t want to end up hating the thing that I really enjoy doing. I also like reading, but writing has been eating up my time even up to this moment. With that, I think that the best way to fix this matter is to stop writing for money. I should quit my so-called job once I find a replacement. The question now is, what should I do next?
I left the call center industry after I graduated, but after the loss of my phone and the want for a new notebook, something is telling me to go back. I should see the turn of events tomorrow. It is a critical day for me. I could turn the way things are going for me, or further sink into obscurity.
















You know,
That’s just the way it is–you love it, you pursue it, then sudenly, you get shitty from it. There just comes a time when we have to deal with life–whatever it has to offer.
I thought I would love writing articles, but it just grows boring every single day. In this case, I just have to keep up with it. I mean, the money’s still good and I earn up on experience. Now, I just accept what life has to offer me.
You know, sometimes I think our generation is just too impatient…

I agree. The youth of today are indeed impatient. Perhaps we could blame the technology for providing us with too much comfort and convenience.
By the way, can I get the link to your blog?

At least my trabaho ka pa. Oo nga, mahirap din mag-monetize ng blog. Kailangan, online ka palagi. Sure, I won’t tell anyone that you’re back here.
Blog ko? http://scribesexpress.wordpress.com

Especially WordPress.com blogs. I’m trying my hands on affiliate marketing with my other blog. Ayun, as in super scratch pa lang. It’s a book blog so it’s okay if I don’t make anything.
Actually, never naman akong umuwi. I just wanted to resign without the hassle. Kasi Sir Rob still wanted me to write from home. Kaso medyo tampo ako, kasi he told me that I would be trained for the position of web developer, eh kaso sa lagay ng mga pangyayari mukhang writer forever ako. So hayun.
