November Blog II
For the most part, the process of writing my Spirit Week/Pep Rally article went well. I got in touch with Ms. Deluca early in the week which was beneficial, because we had conflicting schedules, and it took a few days to find a time to meet that worked for both of us. I wrote this article before class which eliminated stress and helped get me home in me to finish other work. I received a lot of usable information from my interviews, but because of my article’s word count limit, I was not able to use it all. However, this acted as an obstacle anyway, and because of the double topic aspect of my article, I wound up writing too much and had to cut some of what I had written. A more general obstacle for me was writing headline options. Headlines are one of my points of weakness, and have been a reoccurring difficulty and annoyance. To produce a more productive piece, I could have interviewed Ms. Porcaro to get a better angle on the pep rally. I also could have planned out my article before writing it, which may have eliminated the need to cut it down.
