Why Am I Doing This?
Last night, I was talking to a friend of mine online. We talked, well, actually, I talked, about my frustrations of not being able to find a writing job. (Backstory: I graduated in '06 from Northeastern University with a degree in Journalism, and since then I have searched relentlessly for a job, had a supposed "professional" redo my resume and write me a cover letter which as a "writer" I probably could have written myself). My friend asked me what I had written lately and I said, "what do you mean?". And he said, "well, you want to be a writer, what have you written lately?". I said, "I have written some. I have been working on a screenplay, written some poems, and have been working on some ideas for a tv series". Ok, the truth is everyone, I have not touched the screenplay since last summer. The poems were written when I was going through some tough times with my last boyfriend, and the tv series has been thought about, but not touched since last winter. However, I really do want to be a writer, it's one thing in my life that I am passionate about, and thankfully my friend recognized that and suggested that I start a blog. I had absolutely no idea what a blog really was; I thought it was a personal journal which my friend informed me was not true. He told me all I had to do was pick a name for my blog and decide what I wanted to write about. I know I can write about anything under the sun so I decided to write about everything. I wanted a catchy name, asked my friends, and then came up with the name "miss v's voice" on my own, and here I am.......... that's why I am doing this.
k, v, keep it up.. write ur crazy thoughts here....
ReplyDeleteI like it. Truth from the heart makes for good reading. Keep it up. Try writing about some other things in your life that really matter. I know there's some juiciness surrounding New England sports teams...
