To be a good writer you need passion. Not necessarily about the subject that you are writing about but just a passion for the words you put together and sentences you create.
Writing therefore is my passion. It's what is shaping my future. I mean, that's what I've based the next three years of my life on so if it isn't my passion then what am I doing in a three year magazine journalism degree?
There are probably people that question writing as a passion. It's just words right? A passion should be something that gets you angry or upset, makes you want to shout and scream and tell the world how you feel.
It doesn't make me angry, or make me want to shout or scream but it does make me want to tell the world, or at least show the world the way passion is expressed through words.
For longer than I can remember I've written stories, poems, articles and pointless mumble but that's what made me realise I want to write. You express how you feel and what you think without even realising.
Whether people see what you write or not, it makes things clearer in your mind and it all makes just a little more sense. Just a few words often say a lot.
I have put my passion to the test, is it just a passion or actually something I'm good at? I really do hope that a three year degree in Magazine Journalism & Feature Writing will bring out any talent I have because I am more than excited about the future ahead of me.
I never thought I would even make it to University. My parents never went, none of my close friends applied so I simply thought I wasn't the sort of person that went to University but how that changed.
With the first semester over and the second one well underway way I am determined to do well and make an impression. I want to stand out and I want to be noticed through my writing.
At the moment I am still trying to figure out how out of so many Journalism students, I am going to make any kind of impression.
It's my passion though right?
