I am a writer

14 yrs ago (07-Oct-1997) I won 1^st price for Editorial Writing Contest.  It was such a fulfilling experience.  I need to write.  It expresses the cheese out of me.  Otherwise, I will be vague.  Vague in what I say because of those thoughts that are not put into words.  But for the past years, my passion in writing has diminished specially when I worked in a callcenter.  I just had to talk and key in important details in a system.  That was 3 years of talking.  I am living in a country where English is a slight challenge that I need to bend what I know so our ideas will meet.  3 years.  I can state many reasons why I stopped writing.  But I know there are more reasons to write.  I tried to write again through blog.  There is effort is producing topic, effort in producing words, effort in making it interesting, effort in the composition when all I need to do is write.  Rust.  Writing is writing.  It sounds easy to do but if you do not practice this passion, it will feel awkward to do the next time you try it.  Struggle.  As I write, I am also reading books.  This is to refresh me of the ways people write.  To refresh me with words.  To give me patience in focusing on one thing and squeeze ideas about it rather than agreeing to the only idea presented by the book.  I play word games.  I won and had been defeated many times.  Challenge.  Lesson learned.  Do not stop reading.  Do not stop writing.  Do not stop learning.
