[영작] The most valuable experience in your life

 

My Writing Practice

 

What was the most valuable experience in your life?

 

There was a time when I was madly addicted to reading books. Now I’m the person who knows the joy of immersion and the pleasure of going beyond the critical point. It was the most valuable and unforgettable moment in my life.

 

I made a book review program about ten years ago as a freelance writer for TV shows. The show was about introducing newly published books to the viewers. It was aired from Monday to Friday.

 

The viewers could not imagine the writer of the show reading the whole three books that were introduced each day to them. My routine was reading over 20 volumes of the book a week because some were published in a two-part or three-part series.

 

I could choose the easiest way by using promotional summaries from publishing companies. However, I wanted to make my show very different. I didn't want to copy the commercial lines even the ones with a lack of information and reviews about new books.

 

I read all the books and tried to dig up impressive stories that weren't in the PR materials. It lasted over one year. Even though I was a famous bookworm, it was really challenging. Sometimes it felt like a punishment.

 

However, thanks to experiencing over 1,000 books at that time, I've got a very large perspective to read the world widely and broadly understand people. Above all, I got the confidence to challenge my limit.

 

To my recent lazy self, I'd strongly like to recommend explosive reading once again. When you realize you're growing up, that’s the moment the love for yourself grows bigger.
