Edmonton Journal - Olympics
Phew! Last week, I was a lazy dog and now I'm a work horse. Finished the Ipod article and sent it to my editor over the weekend. I also pitched her my Olympic dream article and she liked the idea so much she wants to run it in this Friday's paper. I have to deliver the article before Wednesday. Yikes! Writing under pressure... just the way I like it.
Update: Yuck! Just finished the rough draft of the article a few minutes ago. It's ugly and way out of shape, but I have something I can whip into shape. The hardest part of the article was finding the right way in. I gathered some inspiration from today's events. The Canadian 8-man rowing team are in the finals and trap shooter Susan Nattrass is not. I took those two events and merged them into the inspiration for the introduction. Sometimes, you just have to be open to what the world gives you.
