Saying goodbye

Yeah, this is going to be my last issue for me you guys. Turns out I'm not exactly cut out for current event writing. Just like what Mr. Kevin Cloe has told us at the beginning of the school year, "Creative writing is not your friend in Journalism." At first I thought it would be easy for me but I realized that it got harder and harder for me to do stuff like interviews or even reports about past events. I don't know when I'm leaving but I'm not going to leave Hannah and the rest of you hanging without an article that I was assigned. I am going to be doing the article as promised but this will be my last.

For those of you in Writing Club, I'm still going to be in there so don't sweat it okay? I just won't be in Journalism any longer. I'm not deciding to move out of it because of all the hard work I'm given, it's just hard for me to do this. I told myself I was going to try this class and see if it works. Sadly, it hasn't.
Everyone has their strengths and their weaknesses. Creative writing like stories, poems, and songs are my strengths; journalistic writing is my weakness. I hope you all don't think I'm some big idiot but don't worry about my decision. I made up my mind about what I have decided.

I love you all, you've been great staff members and you all have got talents. I will submit some things like poems or reviews like Nathaniel but just maybe not interviews. Hope this doesn't spark chaos or whatever.

I'll let you all know when my last day here is going to be.

  1. well giving up isn't a very choice thing to do... just because something is hard does'nt mean you should quit... im sure our not the only one who has writers block in here... i feel the same way you do at times but i never quit... quitting just shows you havn't done your best and your accepting defete.

  2. Well journalism writing isn't my passion really. But I wasn't going to say no to if without giving it a shot.
