There are days where i feel I am a failure as a writer. I have a novel which I have edited countless times but I still do not feel ready for release. There are God knows how many stories waiting for me to get off my arse so that I can tell them.
But all I can say is life found a way to gift me other experiences and make me take other routes. So here is a brief update.
I left my last job in July 2023. I had enough. It was too painful watching the progress I built up get undone in bad decisions not made by me. And what felt worse was that I went in hoping to learn commercial writing. But I ended up not having anyone to really teach me. In the end I learnt a lot of other stuff about media production all by myself.
That period left me rather scarred. It took me a long time to recover. I make no excuses about it. I spent a lot of time playing catch up in Final Fantasy 14. I read quite a bit too. The stories have been patient with me. They still want me to get off my arse. But they are willing to wait.
I have also continued pursuing the media route. I did enjoy working on production and I intend to further my path. I am currently in the middle of a WSQ diploma course on Content Production and Management. Let’s see where that takes me.
In the meantime, I will be resuming writing work. The stories have waited long enough. Stay tuned.
