350 Words
My love for writing started in middle school to express myself. I am 36 now, so I have about 24 years of writing experience. I wrote not just in my journal, but short stories, poems and love letters. By the time I was in college I already had a way with words but some professors kept asking for more details on my essays. After I graduated college, I volunteer in a political campaign just to get experience in marketing. I connected with the local Hispanic newspapers and I learned about printing media. Turns out during the campaign, not only did I write my own article in the Hispanic newspaper, but was telling a veteran PR professional how to tailor his press media to the Hispanic market. How to cut down 1200 words press note down to 350 words.
I did not see it as a big deal back then, but it was and I am very proud of my younger self for doing it, after all at 22, I did have 10 years of writing experience. I can call myself a published writer. In the spirit of such a beautiful experience, I thought to myself, why not continue expressing myself in 350 words? I know for fact I can do it for less. Even my graduate thesis, I did it short and sweet. I will continue sharing my stories. By the way I did not save my published articles back then because nothing matter, ah to be young and carefree.
After I went through my brutal spiritual awakening/existential crisis in 2018, I did try to erased my past and my accomplishments just to realized in 2021 that all that made me more amazing and created a stronger foundation within me. I will write more about that experience later on because It was out of this world LOL
I counted the words 307 and I am already done, now time to bullshit to get to 350 words. It has been a nice writing exercise for me. Like if I am in school or writing for a newspaper.
350 Words.
