The Story in My Head

I didn't get the job from yesterday. The recruitment lady emailed to tell me they've thought about it overnight and decided to readvertise because they've realised they wanted someone with more experience. Why am I not too disappointed?

Found another strange ad asking for young writers from diverse cultural backgrounds to write for a new TV show. Looked a little suspicious but I decided to call them and find out more info. The guy sounded nice and was impressed with the diversity of my background because it's not very common. He said he'll email me more info but he still hasn't. I don't want to get too excited about it but here is a perfect chance to write the TV show April and I have been dreaming of writing since high school. Of course, it's not going to be our show but I could take the ideas from it, considering how similar the subject is.

I really like writing but I've never given it much thought to do it professionally as my grammar is horrible. April tried to correct it but I still make mistakes if I don't think carefully when I write (as in this blog). And I don't think I'd be too good at alternating between different styles as I'm so used to thinking in my personal one.

Still writing always excites me. Coming up with characters and plots and dialogues. Seeing the stories as a film in my head. I can always imagine the interiors, the costumes, the faces.

Sometimes I get carried away imagining writing that winning script or novel but I guess lots of people have those dreams that never become a reality because of a very simple reason. It's hard. You need inspiration and most of all patience, something I don't have a lot of.
