"I believe in Angels because the Bible says there are Angels; and I believe the Bible to be the true Word of God" - Billy Graham

Monday, January 31, 2005

I asked myself this question the other day - what would have happened if I had gone down the publishing route and become a magazine writer? How different would things have been? I'd be wearing jeans and baby tees instead of tailored suits. I'd be accepting lunch invites from hotels instead of doing the inviting. I'd be writing and writing and writing instead of writing and coordinating and designing and negotiating and supervising. I'd be working five day weeks instead of five-half.

But I guess I made my own decisions. Decided to pursue PR instead of journalism. Well, at least I still get to write here :) Best thing is, I get to write WHATEVER I want to write. Hah! Here, I'm editor-in-chief, writer, consultant, designer, all in one! Coolness. I correct my own grammar (or not) and decide what goes into the next issue (post). So in actuality, I do have the best of both worlds don't I? I have my loyal readers (locally and internationally!) and then I have my "real" job in PR. It's really strange how both jobs look glamourous on the surface but couldn't be more unglamourous. It's hard work, both. Really tough. But I figure I'll get back into writing and freelance when I need the money (not that I don't need money now). Writing's great 'cos you can work from home.

Well, I guess I'll be happy in the hotel for now. At least the food's free :)
