I graduated from law school 5 years ago. Within that 5 years, I have only worked a year in a job which had nothing to do with Law. Then, I became a stay at home wife and mother. After a while, I feel a little bit restless in my position as a stay at home mom. I want to do something more yet I do not want to let go of the privilege of seeing my children grow up in front of my very eyes. I want to be one of the firsts to see them utter their first words, take their first steps and more.

After asking myself about the thing that I really want to do, I finally decided to teach myself to write. I don’t regret my taking up Law instead of doing English literature, because who knows that I might later make use of whatever knowledge I know on that subject later on.

I would not say that writing is an easy thing to do. Although it is a much more flexible job than most that I know of. I write for as long I could remember. I write daily. I kept diaries and now blogs. I have always wanted to write for magazines or newspapers, yet I have not the confidence nor the writing skills for that matter.

So writing was the thing that I’ve decided to teach my self. But where do I begin and how?  I was clueless again. I started to read about becoming a writer from articles I have found on the internet. Thank goodness for the Internet! And now, I have bought myself a couple of books to start off.

I am indeed excited. The feeling is as if I’m going of on a grand (not necessarily smooth and easy) journey.
