First Story!

My media writing professor assigned me a real story today. I'll get to do my first 2 interviews ever next week! I'm so excited. This is new to me and I think it'll do great things for my writing.

On top of that, it's going to be published in the alumni newsletter. I may have missed the deadline for my own topic, but I'll soon get something I've written out for the public, albeit a small portion of the public and for free. But I don't care. I just want practice and an opportunity to branch out.

I must admit, I'm nervous about the interviews. I want to be professional, but also personable. I think I'll put too much pressure on myself so I'm going to try not to. I have to get prepared! I need to go into these interviews with some good background info and a direction for the piece.
