I've always wanted to be a writer. Though I pride myself in what I think is good writing and my extreme penchant for reading, I don't even come close to the naturally talented student writers and journalists out there in the world. Recently, I have been religiously following podcasts like 99% Invisible and NYT Modern Love. All require clever journalism, engaging topics, and without a doubt some darn good writing. A mutual colleague of mine has a blog solely dedicated to his witty stream-of-consciousness writing style documenting the struggles of a "living at home, recent college grad, unemployed but satisfied" life. My former coworker recently discovered her secretly sensitive boyfriend's stash of personal journals. Everyone around me seems to be writing, scratch that--not just writing--but writing good writing on an almost everyday basis.
Me?
Not even close.
