Nice.
I'd like to be a journo but at the same time I wouldn't. I love writing but not for deadlines. And so much of the news seems to be about pain and misery and suffering. If I'm going to write I want to write something happy!
Is it a major paper you work for?

deadline writing...
is a skill that not everyone has. i've seen brilliant writers who churn out drivel when they're forced to work quickly.

See I can do it, I can do it really really well,
I just hate it. Give me thirty minutes and a opinion topic or a topic with basic info and I can churn out about 800 words. I do this really well for exams in school - I just really dislike it - and don't see the point in writing like that when it takes all the pleasure out.
