Thoughts of a lazy blogger

I've been called a lazy blogger (urm.. hence the URL?) =/

I've been compared to a blog which was created after mine but has 3 times the number of posts =(

I've been enduring harassment to update my blog because people have nothing new to read =((

What la.

It's about quality, not quantity...

Err... right..?

Since the creation of my blog, the issue of me as a writer has been raised again. Many, many people have constantly told me over the years to not waste my talent. I have always loved writing and expressing myself through poetry, stories and the such. I had wanted to become a copywriter since I found out such a position existed in Form 4. That want came true during my time at IACT, and I was exhilarated when I saw my work being published and broadcasted.

Unfortunately, like my Creative Director had advised me, I am not confident enough of my talent. Looking back, I think I know exactly when this moment came. It was when I was hired back to my internship agency as an actual copywriter, albeit part-time due to my studies, and I was working on the copy for a Mercedes-Benz print ad. I could not write good copy. This was probably due to my lack of interest and knowledge in automobiles. But as a copywriter, I have to be able to write creatively for any client, notwithstanding what their product or service is. It hit me then that I couldn't. Or rather I wasn't interested to. And no interest = no passion = tasteless work.

Sometimes I wish I had taken the hospitality & tourism course after all. I am still haunted by my decision to stay in the communication line. After all, two diplomas in two totally different fields is still bound to get me somewhere... right?

Maybe that's just my lack of confidence talking again.
