- Once you know the angle, you know the plot.
- No necessity to exercise academia english
- Fun interviewing and digging up people's *****
- Quick process of writing
Cons:
- No room for imagination
- I'm a fiction kind, so I neeeeed to plot my story. Sometimes I squeeze people to tell me what I want to pen down.
- I'm no good at building rapport. Too fabulous to do so (HEH!)
- It's awkward once you know your job is done and you don't need the interviewees anymore (HEHEHEHE).
Don't take my POV to judge all journalists because the word itself and moi don't match. I'm a bad bad bad journalist slash reporter. And kind of knew it for a long time, since I took intro to journalism in my first year in Singapore. But denied it because I thought in order to be a good writer, I must muster journalism skills. In effect, I write pieces of craps and argued with my first chief editor because she cuts down my 'flair' and 'flimsy dresses' (which would be totally acceptable in Harper's Bazaar!!). And as for intro to journalism, I didn't ace it of course.
Vive le fiction!
PS: I'm not loving mon noveau chanel nail lacquer. It's like slabbing chilled margarine. Now that I know, I want my money back so I can purchase 3 new bottles OPI.
