weekly post 【23】
Feb. 12th, 2024 01:50 pmSaturday, I called a friend to play a game, and I told him I was beginning to search for full-time work.
He asked me why I'd chosen to apply to hospitality instead of something in the field of writing, which I went to school for.
It was a good question. I've stayed away from writing as a career because I told myself I wasn't interested in copywriting and content writing, but technical writing, fiction, and blogging.
Initially, I thought writing copy would be soul-draining, while technical writing requires expertise and certifications, neither of which I have. Salaried careers are, for writers, not really what you'd expect.
But now that I work part-time, my feelings about career-based writing have changed. I'm not still too sure how much I would enjoy it, but I'm willing to apply and try.
I'll be aiming for a job in the hotel industry for now, but I think I would like to eventually try and look for writer work again sometime.
But for now, on with the weekly logs!
