back in my high school years, i get excited and anxious to get a copy of our official school organ. i would rush to the principal’s office and line up to have one. then i would read each article, poem… then i would stop and wonder,
“can i be a writer too?”
then one time, the school organ held a screening test in search for new writers. it was my chance to be what i have dreamed to be. so i tried out. i can’t remember anymore the topic i chose to write about that time. but i poured my heart out as i wrote my ideas on the piece of paper that they gave me.
results came out… my name wasn’t there. well, it broke my heart first, but what matters most is… I TRIED!
it all starts in trying. taking the big step with confidence.tell yourself this: i can write, i want to write, and i will write. and you will find yourself writing just about anything. it all starts in believing that you can actually do it.
having your notepad can also help you in waking up the writer in you. think of an object or anything you saw that you found interesting. think of all the words that you can associate with that thing you have in mind. list them all down on your notepad. then start using these words in sentences as you describe the topic you have in mind. then create a sense of continuity or connection with your sentences then edit it. and before you know it, you’ve done it! your very own article. now do that everyday, at least an hour a day. then try playing with words, and you may also want to try enriching the vocabulary you use by consulting the dictionary. and you’ll see how you progress with your writing and with your words. you may also want to read more texts to increase your awareness in the everyday world, or perhaps react on the things you have watched or read. you may also want to keep your journal or a diary where you can write your thoughts and you daily experiences. you may want to share them with your friends for comments and make your potential readers learn from what you’ve written.
let your masterpiece talk to the readers. make them learn from you. let them relate their selves into what they have read. be passionate with what you are writing. this will unleash the writer in you, the artist in you.
now as you write more articles, keep a portfolio of your writings. trust me, it will all come in handy soon..
it’s time to unleash, dear writer! i believe in you.
