So in an interview today.. for what you ask? well that is top secret..lol.. a girl has to some mystery right.. but the interviewer asks why you are a good writer? well, i have hard time accepting this idea that I am good at anything. Not because I dont think i am good but because I think the term good is relative. You may think I am good and I dont think I am and vice verse. But I thought about it for a minute. and I said to her well besides the fact that I am clumsy and give myself good material to write about. ( who else do you know has had such interesting injuries?)anyways, so i told her there are several good reasons. 1. this way no one has to listen to me talk. lol..funny right but I have found that when you are ranting and raving people are much more excited to read it rather than hear it. 2. I can pull stuff of the top of my head. like my dad would say I can be a real B.S.er...again funny right? not so much in my every day life but simply in the writing. You know when I write about how cinnamon and ginger help you lose weight or why Cancun is great city or the value of filing taxes. All things I am not interested in. ( sorry if you work for the IRS, or are a mexico fan. Then i proceeded to tell her some people would describe me as funny, quirky,creative, passionate. well and I love words. I have been reading the dictionary since I was four years. and you know that scene in Akeelah in the Bee when she is in her room making lists of dictionary words..yeah thats me. geeky but true. I told the interviewer though its more then that. The biggest reason why some would argue I am good at writing is because I am not afraid to be vulnerable. More so than most. which is sometimes a good thing and can certainly be a bad thing. I am one of those people who puts themselves out there. I share the most inside secrets right here for the world to see. Something that isnt easy to do for sure. I find myself when its just me and the words I can allow my self to be open and honest and raw. If there is an injury I will tell you, if there is heart break in my personal life (love life (which dnt get me started) or otherwise) if there is joy you will find out. my hope is that I can give people a little bit of humor, maybe some tears and relate ability. I also think it is pretty awesome that I have been given what some see as talent and I platform that I can use to spread a little love and joy. what can be better?
we are all good at something.. so my question for you is what are you good at and how are you spreading some joy with the gifts you have been given (even if they are percieved gifts by everyone else)
