Be a WRITER!
I've always wanted to be a writer or a novelist since I was in fourth grade. I was eleven at that time and read my very first pocketbook. It was a Mary-kate and Ashley book and I really adore both of them until now anyways. I've had lots of idea of what kind of story to write and by fifth grade I was able to finish the cheesiest story ever told!! It was entitled "Muse in Charge". I actually still have it. Then after that I wrote a series about best friends preparing their thirteenth birthday and so on. But I deleted them. Through the years I have started a lot of stories but most of them went to the recycle bin, lost them or kept them very well and forgot where I placed it. I actually like this certain story I made titled "All Super Star" though I don't know where it is now. And today, I'm still working on a story called "When Stupid Played Cupid" too bad I'm having a hard time to move on with the story because every time I try to write my mind flies away to never-watever-land!! Probably in the duration of this month I could move on and be able to write a new chapter.
When I bought a Candy mag (just because of Leighton) I saw an ad about the Candy Council of Cool. Then it hit me! I've always wanted to be in it. I actually found out about that council when I was in fifth grade. (care of my brother who unexpectedly bought a copy of candy) Every single year I dream of entering (though last year I forgot about it). I used to be a huge fan of Candy but as of last year I switched to other varieties of magazines such as Girlfriend (Australia), Dolly, Seventeen and of course my favorite magazine Teen Vogue!! However, my disloyalty to the magazine didn't stop me from being a Candy Teentalker. I may not buy the mag (but I still read some of the copies from my friends) but I'm a Candy girl at heart. So I'm working on my essay that is going to be submitted to Candy and if I didn't get in. There's still a next year! But really I want to be in it this year!!! (PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!)
Yesterday, I bought a back issue of Girlfriend which was way back last December. I scanned it this morning and found out that they have their own version of Candy Council of Cool. They call it "Girlfriend teen publishing bootcamp". (theirs is longer!!) Though it is quite different, at this mag YOU get to have a POSITION. You'll be like the junior version of the EDITOR, DESIGNER, FEATURES EDITOR (that's what I want!) and etc. In one upcoming issue of it you get to help in the making of the magazine. (I think that's how it goes in Candy too??!!) But when you apply or enter the contest you get to pick what position you're applying and do what is asked to do to be the Features Editor for example. Unlike in Candy you'll just send in an essay about "why you should be in the CCC" and be able to brag about you're achievements, share your interest and be wacky at the interview. (did you even get it?) hahaha.. Sad to say I find Girlfriend more interesting than Candy. However, I have to face the fact that Girlfriend is in Australia for heaven's sake! And the contest has ended!!
It's up to God if I get in the CCC. I know he'll help me and the others too. And if the stars were aligned in the right way that could make me the one of lucky girls, I WOULD GET IT! All you need is determination, inspiration and what else?! Hahaha.. I would try and if a fail (I really hope I don't) I will get up and move on to my life. (what a drama!)
