I'm an efficient, good, professional reporter. But I also write. And so what I try to do is write about places that I know that I care about intensely and write about them in a way that conveys the fact that I care.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I write as well as I can. I'm a journalist at heart, so it's the story that matters.
I'm a journalist and author. I make my living by finding things out and writing about them.
I have a journalism degree, but I'd rather be the person who is being written about rather than the person who is writing.
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
I've always enjoyed writing, I graduated with a degree in English; I've done bits of journalism.
I often attribute my screenwriting to journalism because they drill in the who, what, when, where and why - but we really need to land on that why. That's what I've been exploring in my writing for many years and trying to get better at.
Well, my background is journalism. I don't have any creative-writing experience except for one class I took as a sophomore in college.
I have grown in my writing and I care about it now and I know how important it is to write stuff.
I try to write about things, places, events, and phenomena I know about personally. That helps make the novels more genuine.
I always like to have a buffer between me and journalism in general. Not just a reporter, but journalism.
