I was never asked about that, I started writing when I was so little and I kept trying to use whatever vocabulary I had. My sister gave me horrible feedback about a poetic story while my cousin loved a simple short one. I enhanced my poetic skills when I studied poetry at the age of12 through school and wrote the first rhyming and balanced poem... Things just developed from there. I applied to a poetry competition posted by a magazine I used to read and when I went to their office they mentioned having a poetry club. I joined and got acquainted to other poets, learning from each other. One of them introduced me to an art club and that's where I learned reporting about art... I stayed in journalism and media production from2003 to2012 after which I specialized in copywriting which I hated honestly when I was younger but learned well as I became more professional. Advertising and marketing text used to feel like lies and hidden agendas when I was a teenager but as time passed it became an intriguing challenge! Story of my life :)
