Morning Madness

Every once in a while, an unkind thought (and I truly pray it’d remain a thought) hunts me. No matter how I strive, it wouldn’t resign stalking me.

Now that I’m almost there, I’m having second thoughts whether I should continue walking through the track I took or if I should just go back and choose a whole, new, different path.

I feel that nothing will come off my writing - nothing good and great. Maybe my dream of becoming a writer is a little over the top and it’s unimaginable for me to get hold of it, or even get close to it. Maybe my pieces are merely for my personal growth and not for the whole world to see, to read, and to judge. Maybe I was born to do other things but sadly, not writing.

In less than a month, I will start doing both expert and man-in-the-street interviews, start going to places to get infos and do my researches, and start saying my hellos to heaps of paper works – again, all at the same time.

I’m not really sure if I’m all outfitted to once again encounter teachers who seem to get pleasure in butchering a piece. And no, it’s not an exaggeration. You should see our first drafts slaughtered, worse if also our second drafts.

I resolutely want this. But I’m not convinced if it wants me back as much.

Helpppp!
