I never really had much structure and the older I've gotten, the more I've neglected honing my skills as a writer. It just stopped being fun once the stakes grew higher. So many rules and formulas caused for headaches and felt like work.
After realizing that this was all a part of growing up, I decided to place more of an effort towards engaging the reader especially since I made the decision to pursue a career in journalism. One of the journalism courses I took a few months ago offered insight on Edward R. Murrow's innovative style in using literary technique in reporting to create a poetic flow.
This was the first thing that came to mind when I thought about creative non-fiction along with feature profiles. I used to enjoy writing stories of characters based on my imagination back in middle school along with occasionally free writing just to shake off the rust. I am looking forward to reading more on writers like David Foster Wallace who I was introduced to last Summer.
