in the effort to furnish my diamond and pearls collection, i stumbled into the thought of selling my writing or the end result of me rambling. so i approach a "reporter" and submit a what i would think of as a compelling story about human life and its misfortunes.
With bold intentions and fired up spirit i put forward the idea and got this as a response : "the idea behind the story you wish to write lacks what we called the X factor. people dont want to read about someone who had experience fire twice, but if that person has experience fire five times, now that is a story".
my reactions, in chonological order, was "i hope you dont have to go through it the near future", "drama is what the media seek", and "misfortune will not make the media if it is only experienced twice, yet once is bearing for most people, but certainly not for you; five seems to be the lucky number"
despite of my willingness to push through and be persistent, i postponed my intentions and mourn the fact that when speaking about the media, jumping hoops dont cut it, one need to at least die and live again five times.
