Tuesday is like every other Tuesday, most for that manner, as I have begun to get into the “meat” of my work and to do list for the week. Sent off my rough draft of my story and was soon given back with numerous edits.
One thing that I have learned is that I am good at “fluffing” stories up which can be a good thing and a bad thing in my character. It is good because I always try to put any event or occurrence in the best light, but bad in the sense that if it needs to be a 600-word story, you need to explain that story in 600 words . . . period.
After receiving my numerous edits, I had begun to notice that sometimes I write too much as my quotes are sometimes longer than they need to be. Sometimes I get so involved in the interview that I want to make sure that some big points are mentioned. However not every quote can be a big point, is definitely something I am learning.
Overall, I am beginning to see improvement already in this internship. Whether my stories, my punctuality, to actually forcing myself to go to sleep on time, all these traits are helping become a better person in the long run . . . . . stay tuned.
