i wrote to a local paper today, pretty much just begging for a job. any job.
i think i would do very well with my own work. give me a weekly blank spot and let me fill it. people will read it, i can assure you of that.
actually i am feeling a little nervous right about now. i have never put myself out there to be critiqued in such a blatant way. but now is the time for risks. i am young and i have drive. i will do what it takes to make my career choice work for me and those are the necessary tools. that and some sort of writing talent. which i am beginning to believe that i have.
i just want a chance. a chance to fail, a chance to succeed. a chance to enter the ring and fight for what i believe i am entitled to. its not as though i have been here before. this is all new ground i am covering and i am trying to spread myself out so as not to leave any blank spaces lest even one opportunity pass me by. i feel as though i haven't had the right setting to accomplish anything. i do not expect that i will get ahead simply by asking, i only want the chance to try. maybe i'll fall flat on my face and maybe i'll find my niche and climb a little higher. all i ask is the moment in time that decides those things. the moment that is mine when i can step forward on my best possible foot and make an attempt. when life gives you lemons, make some kick ass lemonade. when life handed me a pen, i used it to make magic.

Amen. I hope the paper gives you an opportunity to prove yourself because I'm sure you would do well.
