The "Write" Opportunity?

Met up with daphne today. She's back from Taiwan, finally! So yup, she agreed to follow me down to the writer's interview thingy at Keong Saik Road, somewhere near Chinatown and Outram.

So well, I waited quite a while before the lady came and talk to me. Initially, I felt a bit clueless cos I did specify in my resume that I do not have past professional writing experience to start off with. So I showed her the website which I published my works at http://www.triond.com/users/nightcharmer and told her I wrote mostly poetry. So she was like blabbering about what they expect is far different from poetry. As if I don't know, duh.

So anyway, she picked an article I wrote. She read this: http://bizcovering.com/employment/tougher-times-call-for-a-tougher-self-how-to-survive-unemployment/

After scanning through, she was like saying my essay needs some "cleaning up". Well, in my mind I was thinking "Of course I know it's by no means perfect la! I writing for leisure only ma!" I did point this fact to her but she was like snobbishly saying she understood too. But she did say there are some merits to what I wrote.

From my writing, she concluded I am a "simple" person, I told her I am pretty straightforward and honest, and she said these qualities showed in my writing. Sure meh?

So, her initial plan was to look for an experienced writer to replace a previous one who just left. While I clearly did not fit the bill, she said the reason I was shortlisted for the interview even though I stated in my resume that I was inexperienced was because she liked my honesty.

I appreciated that. So in the end, she said she would be considering me as a freelance writer, to help cover events if needed, at an ad hoc basis. I thought that would be great. Finally, a platform for me to learn and sharpen my writing skills.

I am by no means fantastic on my writing, as you can see, but I know I'm acquainted with words somehow. :)

Right now, the challenge is to get over the "torture" of typing with one hand(as what I'm doing now)...

And to recover asap!
