THE WRITER ME
About Me — Chingmay Anaïs Jo
I can’t stop writing, and Medium lets me be.
Dear Non-Members, please click here to read this story.
Having been encouraged by two English teachers in high school, I wanted to be a writer ever since I was 16. One called me a writer of the heart, and the other asked to read my writings even after I was no longer his student.
Incessantly, I have written throughout my life for friends, companies, clients, and occasionally for my own pleasure, but I never dared call myself a writer because I’ve only published three articles in the past, apart from company press releases.
I have to say, I’ve always been proud of my negotiation skills through my effective writing, which almost never failed to help me achieve my objectives, be they personal or professional. I also pride myself on being able to get thoughts out of people they didn’t know existed in them, and they feel rightfully that those are theirs once they read what I wrote. I always rejoice in their great satisfaction with what I do for them and secretly pat myself on the shoulder for the ideal results. Nevertheless, I never felt good enough to call myself a writer until I recently published some stories in various good-quality publications on Medium.
