orphaned words


okay, so picking up from my friend's advice, i've recently applied for a content writing job aaand after mauling over hundreds of job sites and sending applications, i got accepted. sooo.. what next? writing of course! so there i am grinning and ecstatic and about to jump start my first online job and lo and behold, i find myself dumbfounded. where do i start? what do i write about? was i experiencing some kind of untimely writer's block? maybe, but on second thought, no, because i can always think of something to write, that's for sure. and yes, i know i've always had a thing for writing and i know that it is one of the few things that just comes naturally and effortlessly.

so what now was keeping me from doing what was already as simple as it would seem? i creased my forehead and tried to wrack my brain and finally i discovered what was bothering me. the thing was, i was going to have to write for someone and worst, from a third person's point of view, which, in my opinion, makes one feel so unattached to his /work. orphaned words, they were to me. to be penned by anyone. it would have done me better to not write at all.

or maybe because i'm just so used to writing from a first person point of view. to be at breath's reach from my work. maybe because when i write there is no other agenda. i write for myself, and not for anyone else.

but really, what am i ranting for when it's actually a job, right? sigh. oh well, i guess ranting is better than nothing to do while i'm stuck in this rut.
