Who would have thought that writing for print and digital media would be so much different than writing for English essays?
There are sooo many changes I have to keep track of, such as shorter paragraphs, writing out only numbers one through nine but using digits for 10 and up, and writing mainly for interest-grabbing rather than structure flow (though that's important still too).
I'm not complaining. I'll get it down eventually. It'll just take time.
We're also using headline instead of straight-up titles. I didn't know there was a difference before, but apparently headlines are complete, concise sentences that can't be a play on words or anything.
Think I should start using headlines for this blog? It may be good practice, but then again it may take longer to think up a good one. For some reason, my mornings are getting shorter on time as it is, not sure why.
Anyways, I have a nice big ole thick book telling me how to write the way my professor wants me to, and I have a free tutoring service that I plan on taking extreme advantage of. I also have my professor's email, which I have already used probably too much for her liking.
So, let's get to it, chop chop! Mwahahaha, I'll be great at this by the end of the semester, and this blog won't even know what hit it!
