슬프다...

I have always tried to look for stories around the region so that I can feature something in the company’s internal newsletter every week. My US correspondent and I worked pretty well together as I’m always very prompt on my weekly submission of stories.

This week, I submitted a story but wasn’t too clear on a liner which I had written and my US correspondent wrote me an email asking for some clarifications. I apologized and explained. But I was quite taken aback by her reply: ‘I think it is the first time, ever, that you were unclear about something. Don’t let it happen again.’

Her words are strong. Perhaps I have been too clear and good with my stories all this while. Sets me thinking… what happened? Have my writing skills deteriorated?
