Sometimes I flip through a magazine or a newspaper and clearly see that the writer does not know their story. They might google it or have a basic under-standing of the subject matter, but does not have a common connection with the subject matter. Yes there are deadlines and the editor might hand something over to the writer that is alien to them. But after than it is the writer's responsibility to do the research and get to know the culture and environment that he/she is writing about. It is not going above and beyond, it is just being a good writer.
I'm not a big fan of music reviews and I rarely listen to Bob Dylan, but I have to agree with Dylan on this. The interview speaks for itself.
Family, friends, ethics, strong moral and just completing something is what drives me. I wake up in the morning wanting to draw. I've had too many sketch books to remember. That is just the art side of me. I have a constant need to follow business and the economy, even before the recession. I love reading newspaper articles. I enjoy illustrating what I see. I have been a student journalist for more than two years, soon to enter my junior year in college. I want to combine my artistic skills with my journalistic skills and innovate my own style of journalism. As a artist I look to find my own styles and methods, as a writer I look to find my own style of writing. As a person I look to discover my purpose in this world through family, relationships, writing and artwork.
