I am re-writing my story

Pfffft....what should I say? I am sorry. I don't know. Lol. 🙊🙉 Am I shy? Okay. I know, right? I have had enough break and nothing. I am just inspired. It wasn't an official break. There just wasn't inspiration to write anything. I attended the Proffesional Media Skills Workshop (PMSW) 2024 organised by the Department of Mass Communication, Fountain University, Oshogbo.

To be honest, I wasn't feeling it at first because I felt it would be like other boring workshops that I have most times been forced to attend. Though, I was forced to attend this, too, because I was threatened. Lol. In other words, my mark and attendance that qualifies the eligibility to write an exam was threatened. Boom! I drowned in the attendance of the workshop. I enjoyed most of the time I spent sitting and listening to the facilitators and Q & A segment. I learned and re-learned, trust me. I thought I didn't, but I did. Part of the evidence that I did is writing this. I have dropped my pen for a long time and now I have picked it and I hope I don't drop it again. Really. I love journaling. I pen most of my experiences and how I feel in my journal, and it feels great.

I thought writing wasn't for me, especially because my lecturer's rated news writing more, and that's because it's what it's in my present scheme of work for my level. I want to write what I feel and not what a source feels. I don't used to know that this type of writing is also a type of niche in writing. I love it, and the part I love the most is where I could judge anyone, say anything, and write off based on my emotions without being questioned. It's like a bed that's able to fly high up, showing off its different flying skills on its own free will.

Here comes the inspiration for the title of this article, which leads us to the last facilitator of the workshop, Mr Ahmad Amobi, a freelance writer who presently works for Bellanaija. Really, I am inspired. Not that I was not inspired by other facilitators who had come to speak but because this particular one piqued my interest the most, and it seems the most easy to do and also realistic. I write. Poems, fiction, and this feature, but I am not consistent enough, and now, I don't want to give excuses anymore, and I want to find my feet here, and I will!

This is my story, and I will be a feature writer! So, stay tuned. Subsequently, I'd do fiction, also and fuse it with features because I want to challenge my intelligence in creative writing. So, yeah, I am re-writing my story.

I do interviews for my YouTube, and I want to try that with blogging, also. Let's see what comes out of it. I have an interviewee already. You should just stay tuned.
