I was thinking. Is this just me being rude or is this reality? I just realized that even if you try not caring about what the heck is everybody's doing, you just CAN'T help but judge them sometimes. Mark my word, SOMETIMES. Sometimes might not hurt. (I said MIGHT) It's always that makes it worse.
So okay, here's my thing. (Note: By this blog post, you might just hate me. Or just hate me. So go ahead and hate me.) It's just that, I've noticed. I'm a writer. Or feeling writer. Whichever fits. But I never actually "dived in" into that reality. For me, I'm still MARY RUTH MARTE-BALOY.
I often hear stories about people who wishes or dreams to be a writer. Oftentimes, they'd send PMS asking for tips and advices. And honestly, I don't know what the heck to say. Because I don't know how the heck I create my novels.
There are just some people (NOTE: SOME PEOPLE) who tend to be so proud and boastful about that matter. I'm sooooooo sorry. But yeah. Iyong tipong. (I'M SORRY) Hindi pa nga writer pero, let's say, nag-exceed ang confidence nila about their work. I know, I don't have the slightest right to judge them this way. Pero minsan, sumusobra lang.
I just remembered what Sir Jun told me when I met him for the first time sa PHR workshop.
"HUWAG LALAKI ANG ULO." So yeah. Kung malaki na agad ang ulo bago pa nagsimula, paano na kapag namayagpag?
I'm speaking as a fan and a reader. In this blogspost, I'm not a writer.
Ako kasi, I idolize the writer hindi lang dahil sa maganda siya magsulat o nai-inspire ako sa mga sinusulat niya. I idolize them for their humility too. Their friendliness and their pakikitungo sa readers nila. Technically, I hate feeling so inferior when I talk to a writer. Iyong tipo bang mararamdaman mo na, READER ka LANG, WRITER ako. Why discriminate? One can never be a writer without her readers. Sa paningin ko kasi, writers are supposed to be INSPIRATIONS to their fellow writers, to their readers and to aspiring writers. But sometimes, they become the hindrance to that dream.
I'm not GENERALIZING, okay? I'm using the term "SOME" here.
SOME (again, SOME) aspiring writers who became writers tend to feel superior than those other aspiring writers who haven't YET reached the position. I know, the achievement is overwhelming. So okay, FEEL IT. Make the most of it, even. But still, at some point in time, realize that it's not something that should last forever. I have to be frank. Pero bawasan naman ang pagiging mayabang. :| There, I said it. It doesn't feel good, but it's the truth.
Hindi ako naghuhugas-kamay with this issue. Of course, when I had my novels approved, it's something AMAZING, something worth to BRAG about. But it's never something that could CHANGE me.
As what I said, this is an OPINYON, okay. Sorry kung natamaan ka. Ilag ka nalang. Kasi ako, nadaplisan din dito.
