"it’s nearly impossible to make a living as a food writer, and I think it’s only going to get worse"
"today, these jobs barely exist"
I have never heard of anyone dreaming of becoming of a food writer. In fact, no one has ever suggestes us to become a food writer. This, is going to change. I am going to be a successful food writer, be it in writing food reviews, recipes, food stories, just about any food writing related. People definitely will have doubts in me. I mean, a writer for a living-in Malaysia ? It's already hard enough to make Malaysians read, what more to make them to be interested in my piece of writing. Oh that. I need to figure that out.
I won't stop writing about food, because I believe I have passion for food. I grow up with food memories. Being in a food lover family, we can talk about food like everyday without getting bored. I can't let this go to waste. I have to do something. It may take me 5 years, 10 years or even when I'm 80 years old, but food, is always going to be one of the main topics of the day. I mean, "what's for breakfast? , what's for lunch ?, what's for dinner ?, what's for dessert ? what's for snacks?" Food is everyday. And mealtime is happy times. I want to be a part of it. If I can't do it for a living, I will live for it. Keep telling people to enjoy food, appreciate food, eat healthy, and so much more. I don't know where I want to be or what I want to be in the future honestly, but hey, writing food is a pretty nice start isn't it ?
