My full time photography income hasn’t been stable ever since the lockdown. Even though the economy seem back, I have lost many of my clients. Old has gone and new is slow to clinch a deal.

The forces of no income makes to rethink my purpose of my work life. And so, I decided to pick up a new skill and that is writing.

When I first started, I didn’t know how to write, what to write. I knew nothing and worst off, my English skills cannot make it, my grades were those below average in my school days.

But here I am. One must be thick skin to learn, and bold. This is the starting of my rookie journey in writing. I documented the confusing writing journey because I want to help someone who is 2 steps behind me. Who is also keen to learn.

And like many online writers have wrote, write craps first, and they were so right. I wrote rubbish, most of them were junk pieces I don’t even dare to post. When I read it out loud, they are not readable because there is no flows, no points, no feels and the points don’t connects. I find it funny. But never mind, I’ll continue to learn, the desire is there.
