wala lang....
I love to write, and I can write. I know I can. I wanted to share my thoughts, i wanted to share my poems, i wanted to share a part of the knowledge of this world that i have learned, but strings of insecurity and low-self steem are pulling me.
Surfing the net, checking out submissions, i see authors' bios, "graduate, professor". I feel my stomach weakening. I feel my head spinning.
Will I be able to keep up with them, or at least my works published with theirs?
I have no academic achievements, just a passion for writing. I am not a graduate. I could not even say I am educated, well formally for that matter. But I want to write.
I want to impart the lessons I have learned, the not-so great wisdom life has enabled me to have.
i just want to reach out, speak to you, show you the tapestry of life woven before my eyes.
yes, I want to write, i love to write, insecured I maybe, my self-steem low, I will write!
its within...

ive read a book and it tells about how to be a writer:
its not about diplomas,phd,and watever title girl,
its about feeling, ideas, emotions, and wisdom.
if you got it all;
keep it up! ;p
the greatest battle is within... ;p
break a leg!
that's the spirit! i myself is not an educated writer "educated" means possesing diplomas, awards, phd, or something proof to tell the world i am a certified writer.
But i guess the real essence of writing lies on how effective one can communicate irregardless of topic and educational attainment.
JK Rowling is just a plain stay at home mother when she wrote her first Harry Potter book.
we share the same passion for writing, that's why in my frustration i decided to create a blog and pour out my sentiments and so called writing ability--it's a good excuse though not to adhere to a proper writing standards, after all it is a blog.
get it on write and write don't be stopped by critics, compete in yourself not with those established writers. Practice makes it perfect, it still works, and i hope someday maybe one of us will make it to the top, this conversation will remind us of how things were and will put our feet on the ground.
