"Ever since I entered university, the recurring joke of my life has been that there is no way I’ll ever get a job. I’m an arts kid, so that means that instead of choosing between the thousands of job prospects that are readily available to my friends in commerce degrees, the jobs I’ll choose between are the one at McDonald’s and the one at Hungry Jacks." Andrea Septién Uribe breaks down the assumption that Arts students are unemployable, giving hope to those who may be feeling discouraged to follow their passions. Read at the link in bio.
"This is my writer’s origin story; how I went from burning through six story ideas in five months, to writing 85,000 words in just four. In this article, I share with you a variety of screen-writing resources from some well-known screenwriters, which have helped me immensely in my novel writing journey." Taylor Doyle dives into how she has taken the teachings of screen-writers and applied them to her own writing journey, and how you can do the same. At the link in bio.
"They say it takes a village to raise a kid. Well, a dog isn’t any different." Read Xuan Wei Yap's blog on what it means to adopt a pet during a pandemic, taking us through the highs and lows of dog parenting. At the link in bio.
