Why I Want To Be A Writer?

Since I was in high school, I ever dreamed of becoming a novel writer. Although, what I am trying to pursue now isn't novel writing but content that helps educate or share brand awareness. Indeed as time passes by your interest will change but if you are passionate about something, it will never fade. Transition happens but your hobby is still the same.

When I was still studying, I don't have a specific profession that interest me. Although, I love learnings. I can't find enthusiasm in other jobs but only in writing. I was just so thankful that I found a crypto blogging platform that helps me develop my writing skills and awaken my passion for writing.

In pursuing something, you have to make sure you enjoy every process of it. There may be times that you got burnt out, all you have to do is to take a rest and restore your passion. Whereas you pursue something you don't love, it will never give you any sense of satisfaction and joy.

Why do I want to be a writer?

I haven't finished my degree and because of that, I am always left out whenever I applied for a job as I am not qualified due to my educational background. Even if I am confident that I can perform the job well as I am always willing to learn and a fast learner, I am not qualified. This gives me insecurities and I always pity myself way back that I wasn't able to finish my studies for some personal reasons.

Then, here comes writing. I believe it is the talent that God has given me wherein I just have to learn its process without requiring any degree. With writing, I don't feel any discrimination over educational background because other graduates can't write properly. It is something I am good at and is natural without being forced. The writing flows in my stream naturally.

Do you believe that I don't suffer writer's block frequently? It's because I can find topics to write about easily. Words flow naturally without me realizing I already wrote 500 words or more with 3-5 minutes of reading time crafted in less than an hour. If the topic needs extensive research, I can do it for two days time frame, or if it's rushed I can even make it for one day only. It is because I am always committed to what I do and always give out my best.

Writing is the only thing I can work on easily, despite being a busy mom. It is something I can't live without these days. Since I became addicted to blogging, I write daily. With writing, I also learn a lot through my research and reading other articles. It gives me satisfaction and learnings at the same time.

Recently, I realized that becoming a writer is the dream I had when I was uncertain about what should I pursue. My application as a freelance writer now is not only for the money that I'm going to earn but also for realizing the dream of my younger self. It is something I am good at and will give my best to give me a sense of accomplishment in life. It always gives me joy whenever I see my work helping other people or helping them learn something. As well as helping businesses achieve the content they need.

It seems I was born to say a lot in writing but speak less in person.

What about you? Why do you want to become what you are trying to pursue?

You have the passion, talent, and skills in writing. Focus on these things that you have not what you lack. Though having no degree can sometimes reduce your confidence... but your talent and skills are what you need to get the job done, not your diploma. I'm sharing this because I know this first hand. :). I'm rarely sharing this but my previous employers did not mind what I did not have. Then again, it's not easy. On the other hand, freelancing can be more lucrative than a fulltime job. I think you will fare much better as a writer in freelancing world.

Godspeed.

Thank you for your encouragement, the recruiter said the same thing with me that the company I applied for doesn't matter if I finish college or not as long as my writing output passed their qualifications.

This encourage me more to do better, as you have said you experience it first hand. Thank you so much!

Since elementary, I'm into writing na, Ate. Been a part of the Journalism Team but I had to give it up when pandemic strikes. Need to focus on the things na pwede akong mag-earn like tutorial kasi walang-wala talaga kami ~ but, look at me now! 'Di na lang din nagsusulat dahil sa kita, but to secure my private space na I can't fully express personally and in other socmed platforms.

As a BS Agriculture student? Yah know the reasons, to help our countrymen + the high salary & wider opportunities. πŸ’œ

I want to become a writer so much because I believe I have a message for the world. I feel others can be blessed with my words and it's all about teaching for me. I want my words to teach and share perspective that others didn't see coming. It's also a way of easing up a lot I've had bottled up...more like my therapy...

I'm glad you are realizing your younger years dream. Only a few can boast of that. Well done, Eby. You know I'm always proud of you. You are an inspiration.

Yes, I would call myself a teacher. I enjoyed the two years o taught in a secondary school and it left a lasting impression on me. I am still in communication with most of my students then. One of them said he studied Economics at the tertiary institution just because of me. Felt good.

You are an amazing person, Eby... Always.

For real, I'm a near perfect honors student in STEM and not one contract position ever cared that I took extra electives in composition outside English 1, English 2, creative writing, intro to literature, and so on. I aced every single class.

No jobs, locally or otherwise could care less. College is getting to be outdated for anyone who isn't a medical doctor, scientist, or engineer. Hilariously, I am self-taught.

I write because I find it to be my most valid form of creative expression, it's more like I need to write than want to write.

When I was a young child my mother asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up, and apparently my response was always the same, saying, "I want to go on vacation."

Lmao

Writing requires no qualifications unless you're chasing salary jobs that pay less than half of what a local job in my area pays with a GED or high school diploma with no prior work experience and little English speaking required. LUKSO offered me 30,000 USD. Last job with no qualifications was 75,000+ with 50% profit sharing, full medical, dental, vision, life insurance - even daycare for people with kids.

Writing doesn't make one rich most of the time. Sad truth, but I'd rather do what I love than chase money around. Writing income will still get me a cabin in the forest with careful investing and spending :)

Haha, that was hilarious when your mom asked you what you want to do when you grow up 🀣🀣

I agree, at this point of time.. degree is outdated indeed when it is not a blue collar. There are a lot of degree holder that they didn't used what they graduated at.

I do believe you are self-taught..you are smart Thomas! Same with me, I love writing.. not just for money but for to satisfy my love for it.

Passion is what separates a good writer from a great one. Not followers, not perfect English, not upvotes, not tips. Passion.

I guess I said that on repeat as a kid. I have no memory of it, but I find it funny as well, like damn I had life figured out when I was 5 years old.

Even people who "use" their degrees often end up taking jobs that have nothing to do with passion. I know a writer who grinded hard for a microbio and chemistry minor degree and now he's working on pharmaceuticals as a foot-in-the-door type job. That's more of a success story than most, and he still doesn't make as much as I did with the job anyone with a healthy body can get in the same area.

Society is messed up. Stay passionate! I recommend looking into preparedness living, even if its just a windowsill garden and some extra rice or something. Look at Florida!

Actually, I never dreamed to be a writer. Pangarap ko talaga nung HS pa ako hanggang nung senior high ako na maging CPA. May chance pa naman ako makapagtake ng course na yon kasi sabi ng mother ko, pero hindi ko na siya tinake kasi nga kahit grade lang basehan, (nung grade 7-11), hindi man lang nila binigyan ng chance na patunayan sa sariki ko na kaya ko. Dinibdib ko talaga yung pagbagsak nila sa akin kahit sa non-quota na hindi ako pinasa to the point that I gave up with that passion. But ngayon, I'm pursuing myself to be FINANCIAL LITERATE and work something related to my course.

Maybe if I don't have busy activities at home I can focus on studying but the reality is that reality is not as easy as everyone thinks. I have to do a lot of things myself, maybe if I have a younger brother, sister, or other family members can help me, but in reality it's not at all. That's what I have to think about myself, it's not easy, but that's why I can't focus on studying whatever I want.
