A WORD ON THE WORD

I have a fascination for literature. I have been ghostwriting for my schoolmates ever since I can remember (better known as doing homework for my friends).

Take a look at my shelf. There’s no question about my love for reading (voraciously). It seems that I get so lost into words once I immerse myself in a really good book. I guide myself through this burning curiosity inside me, in books and in life, and I feed that curiosity along the way, desperate to understand the things I cannot understand (which is why Internet is awesome).

I am the ultimate media consumer (on text… I don’t own a TV). I always have new ideas forming in my head and would love spending my lifetime contributing these ideas to the respective publications I’ve grown to depend on to keep myself in the know.

As you can see, I really love words… There’s no question that I want to make a living out of it.
