I was supposed to take copy writing examination today in one of the country's leading networks (Yep, that's a clue). I applied for the writer position and came for an interview and exam last week. I passed the screening and the HR endorsed me to take the copy writing exam with the station's media asset department, supposedly today. But I didn't come. I know, I know, it was bad and unprofessional of me. And I missed the opportunity. But, ugh, in my heart of hearts, it's not what I want NOW.
Okay, so I'm making myself more confused. I was born to be a writer. My mind thinks a lot of crazy, smart and innovative ideas. I am not a good speaker so I channel it to writing. But I think I grew tired of it. No, not really. Not seriously. I'm not saying I don't want to write anymore nor want to waste my four years of education and let everything past the drain. Hey, it's all I've ever dreamed of. Writing is in my blood, in my heart. But i just don't want it to be my profession right now, right away.
When I was still young and whiny, I'd always say I want to be a writer and I want to be rich. But I've never realized then that I couldn't get rich if I am a writer. Yes, some writers are rich because they were rich to begin with! Some writers get rich because of their genius novel they labored for how many years. And in this bad economy, I am not both or can't do both. I am not rich to begin with. My parents just valued education so badly they sent us to a premiere University. I'm not that genius but not below average and I am not saying that I can't be genius! It takes hard work, hard work and hard work! And this is not the time to be unpractical! I don't want to be a starving artist and of course, I want to repay my parents with all their hardships they made just to send us to school.
Yeah, I want to get rich. I want to earn well, really well, to support my family and the lifestyle that I wanted. And I've already laid the blueprint on how I will travel my way to the penny lane. And I am ready to be a cut-throat bitch if the situation requires it! :)
After a year of earning cold and thick cash, I am ready to go back on my first love and pursue my dream of writing for magazine/TV shows. In that way, I won't really care how much I am going to earn because by that time, I am contented with my lot.
I will get rich. I will get rich. I will get rich.
(Insert prayers, hard work and cross fingers too)

I can, I am and I will! :)
