Why Do I Love Writing?

This is a personal story post about how I came to love writing. I grew up enjoying Archie Comics, and I still love reading comics and novels. When I consume online media, I tend to prefer reading words to watching videos, because it is faster. I have always enjoyed using words to tell stories.

I recall in Primary School when my teacher read out my composition to the class, and I scored the highest. It was a fun and rewarding experience, but I give thanks to Archie Comics for helping me to write more creatively.

And in my Polytechnic days, my lecturer said I am the most prolific in my Diploma in Child Psychology & Early Education, with a specialisation track in Writing & Publishing for Young Children, which I graduated in 2013.

Then, in 2019 and 2021, I took steps of faith to self-publish my graphic novels. And even though they didn't do as well as I had hoped, they were such valuable and enriching learning experiences. Truly, the real joy from art comes from the process of making it. Once you have created it, you should learn to let go and let it do its thing. It may bring success back to you, but even if it doesn't, you should still be proud of your achievement.

Personally, I am an introverted person, and I prefer to use writing to express myself. I do go out and interact with others, but this method of self-expression can capture a deeper side within me. As such, I have created this blog to empower fellow educators and parents, hopefully you are one of them. If not, I thank you for reading my posts and hope you can continue to support me in my work.
