Old dream comes true....

When I was in high school, my dream was to be a writer when I grow up. However, upon high school graduation, I was too young and naive to have a direction for future. I took my dad's advice to study something that would be easy to find a job after graduation. Passively, I chose accounting to be my major in university, and I am stuck for life since.

Unfortunately, I was never trained in writing academically, I do not possess the story telling writing skills. In reality, either in the past or present, I have so many real life experiences and sentiments in different environments especially those 15 years in US and China to write about. I really wanted to write the bits and pieces of my experiences in the the past and present just for myself even if no one cares for it.

By coincidence, I found out Joshua is writing a secret blog in Blogger like a diary that is not published to the public. I asked him about how to do it, he was very enthusiastic to show me the way to create a blog and how to use it.

That's how I started "playing" with writing blogs. Writing blogs is like an old dream comes true to me, it makes me feel like a "writer" because it is published openly, there are readers out there. When one writes something and there are interested some who read them, it makes the writer "writer". I was like, hey, it's a dream comes true to me, why not? I should be excited and thrilled about it, who cares if I don't write well!

I think blog writing is the perfect way for me to be the "writer" to write the bits and pieces of my real life experiences in the form of prose. Prose writing doesn't have to be particularly coherent and chronically precise, that suits me perfectly.

Who knows, a screen writer may be interested to put all my stories together and have Ann Lee to make a film out of my life one day. Again, it is a dream, a new one.....
