Well now we are getting down to the nitty, gritty part of Journalism, every writers least favorite part of the writing and publishing process: EDITING!! Indeed even as a high-schooler I learned the wrath of the bleeding red pen. Our editor was so notorious for bleeding over copy that she was forced to switch to purple or green pens, in hopes she won't terrify students as much. But well we aren't in high school anymore and we are not just studetns anymore. We are REPORTERS, lets leave the student behind in the classroom. Scary for some, exciting I think. I learned a long time ago you have to have tough hide if you want to be a writer of any kind. There is always room for improvememt and well god knows I have a lot to learn. There are those times when you feel very studpid though watching your work being torn to shredds or re-written. Watching someone else in the hot seat, while makes you glad its not you, can't help but feel their pain. A lot of errors become obvious when public scrunity is involved. Well back to work on my re-write for my seat in heat is coming.
