WEEK SIX: Stories for days . . .

It’s Monday Madness for sure!!! Got to my office this morning with over 3 story assignments . . . definitely a nice way to start the week don’t you?

The stories are all very interesting which makes up for the number as they all require me to do traveling and if you don’t know, Ryan + Traveling = Happy Ryan. What makes these stories cool is that I get to branch out and go out to the various locations to get a feel for the place, which in turn, helps me write a better story.

One of the first stories that came up was a story that involves a church in Fort Worth, Texas. The thing that it always comes down to for the date I go out there, is dependent on the phone contacts I make and the date available. One thing that I like to ask the directors before I go out there is what day in the week is there the most activity? I usually ask this because most of these places are far and require me to get up super early, so to do all that and go on a day that nothing is happening is pretty much useless.

Overall, with the story line-ups this week I believe it’s going to be a nice little weekend. What’s sad is when I got in this morning my intern partner-of-crime left me a note on my desk as Friday was her last day. She actually is an intern for the missions department, so she was off for a trip to Peru, lucky girl. Missions trip . . . who knows what’s in store for me, after all I’ve never been out of the North America before . . . this could be my chance. Stay Tuned.
