I am so excited to hear about the Mentor Access Project. It is a mentoring project for all budding writers who have not really published any full length of work yet. It is conducted by National Art Council, and it lasts for one year. I have been dreaming about someone who can hold my hand and guide me step by step. As much as I like writing, sometimes, you just feel that writing itself is not enough. I know I can always google the subject I want and read articles online about feature writing of all kinds, but nothing beats a human touch: someone who can take time to walk with me. Dream come true.
Mentoring is a magic word when I decide not to live with a attitude of see how far life can carry me. I want to live intentionally, committed. Learning is very important part of the process. WE are so lost, aren't we? We also rely too much on internet. We look for a solution for our loneliness, read articles to teach us to find a date, to teach us how to survive in a corporate world. We rely on internet to teach us how to lost weight, how to interactive with others, how to cope with certain situation with the best presentation of us. All of these are good, we enjoy the blessings that comes with this information overloaded era. It is just that it lose certain sense of human touch. A criticism in mere text is often doing more harm than help. Yet a comment in words, with face expressions, can be so rich in meaning. And mentors will always have the advantage of knowing the context of mentoree's life and growth. There is a dynamic that can not be seen when you go to yahoo answer for a question you are puzzling about.
If I can be accepted in this mentorship programme. I am going to blog about it, so that you also share this journey with me.
