Quote:Just for the fun of being critical here: I look at these posts you write and I think to myself, wow golly great! you can answer questions, Oehser shows that any person can answer questions with a bit of sarcasm and stream of conscious rants, but can you tell a story? I don't see your advanced writing ability here. Have you started blogging or writing anywhere else? Where is the commitment to the craft? Now, I can't speak much for grammar, however I do see some typos/errors that you'd need to clean up as well. Your answers do seem general or like stock answers as you say on several posts.

 

I'm sure you are probably better than Oesher in every major skill of being a journalist/writer, however we need to see the insight and ability that set you above if you really want to be a top-notch Senior Writer.

 

I'm not trying to trash you, just a challenging thought depending on how serious you are. I will say, At least you are trying, I mean Oehser did have his fly unzipped during the poolside interview for pete's-sake 

I actually appreciate the criticism, I am by no means a perfect writer and I see this more as practice than anything.  One thing i didn't realize was how redundant some of the questions would be even when cherry picking which answers to do, I usually skip a couple a day.  Stock answers are certainly more common than I had hoped, I feel like thats more the result of the questions than anything however.  I will work on the insight part of things, which can be a bit difficult when you are not in the building.  I would imagine my misses will be more severe than someone attending every press conference who is constantly in the building.  The only writing I have really done is random forums, school, and poor attempts at standup comedy so you can expect some issues with the craft.  


Thank you for reading and any further feedback would be great, I'm going to keep attempting if only to see how difficult a task it actually is and would encourage others to try.
