At a 13itches meeting a couple of weeks ago, there was a spring of ideas that came out that we would ultimately like to see ourselves doing. And one of them got me really excited - it's actually one of the original ideas for starting the 13itches brand in the first place and also one of the reasons I wanted to take part and be apart of this brand! That said, I guess you're all wondering now what exactly this exciting idea is hmm?
Well it's nothing new and original but it's exciting to me because ultimately when I'm able to hit that stage of my life, I want to be able to work in this field. Basically the plan is for (in future) 13itches to bring out a magazine. Right now, the idea was to bring it out as an online magazine and that's perfectably understandable as the Internet (and technology itself) nowadays is taking over basically anything that we can hold in our hands physically.
The use of a pen and paper has been taken over by a keyboard and Microsoft Word. And whilst all that is fine with getting out words quicker than usual as they are typed out across the page, there's something I still love about taking out my notebook, holding a pen in my hand and letting the ink do all the talking and expressing my thoughts.
Many of you may not know this, but most of my posts are written down on paper and pen before I am able to get to a computer to transfer my thoughts here on this blog. :)
Anyways, my point of this post is that I ultimately want to be working in the world of magazines. Not for the styling of fashion shoots, not for the interviewing of celebrities, for being a photo whore or scoring freebies at exclusive events, but simply for the writing aspect of it. To see my name in print. To see the "By Line" at the end of an article.
I really hope that 13itches sees through this idea. Coz this is one idea I will fight for if there seems to be any thoughts of throwing this idea away..
Til then, I shall dream on... :)
Peace yo.

Sigh, it's my dream to be a writer for any sort of magazine.
