Even though I had two semesters of journalism in college and wrote for the campus newspaper, it has never been my forte.
However, a wonderful friend nagged-ahem-convinced me to give it a chance. I finally got up my courage and went to talk to the editor of a local, weekly paper. He decided to give me a shot and told me that, if I wrote an article and he published it, He would assign more.
Here I am, now writing two or three articles a week, and getting positive feedback from the public as well as the editor!
I guess I'm saying that it's a good thing to try new types of writing. You may discover that you're good at it!
Also, I owe Jim a huge amount of thanks for his nagging-ahem-encouragement!
