The 15 easy steps (I still don’t understand how 15 steps qualifies as “easy”) to writing a news story are solidified in my mind. The more I write and the more I work with them, they become like second nature. I don’t have to think of them as steps anymore, it’s just a part of the process.
I guess that old “practice makes perfect” is pretty accurate, eh?
This might not be very long, but I’m not really sure what else to add to this. It’s a process that I’d used before I knew it was a process. The practice that I’ve gotten implementing it has made all the difference.
