Can I write?

Someone recently asked me if I like writing. 

That is a good question indeed. 

In fact, I think I have phobia about writing but slowly overcoming it and enjoy doing it and sometimes it does come naturally plus with the great help of 'SHIFT + F7' it made the thesaurus more handy. 

All these is because of my personal lack of confidence when I first joined PR Department in the previous company. Before I joined, I've always seen PR as something difficult and it was a challenge that I decided to transfer from a Secretary to Director of Finance to a Public Relations Assistant. Socializing, communication with people in a right manner, how to be diplomatic, how to tackle story angles that you want to be featured by the media, invitations, standards of collateral and drafting press releases was especially hard for me that time as I had  zero knowledge of what's right and what's wrong, what kind of style had to be used and what not...

Throughout my employment, there was even one particular person that actually said I can't write and that writing should starts from young age and a natural passion, I made a lot of grammatical error in my blog (blog is not even serious for me... )  bla bla bla bla bla bla. At that time, I was 120% demotivated to write because there's no proper guide or training but critics instead. She made me believe that I had not much hope in my PR career.

More than 1 year ago, I took the courage to go for an interview. I mentioned clearly during the interview that particularly in writing, I had a lot to improve (and yes, this was how inconfident I was). However, the interviewer told me something that sounded like, 'Well, that's just technical. I am sure we can work around it.' and that actually brighten up my life. I really cherish the opportunity given to me that time and thanks to him, I overcame my fear and gained confidence in a lot of things.

Someone from the media also once told me... There's nobody that can't write if they are properly trained and besides, practice made better!

Back to the question... my answer would be: I DIDN'T DARE TO LIKE IT but now YES!
