I'm nervous.
For a majority of my life, I have always wanted to do something that involved music and writing. No...I do not mean music writing; I'm not cut out for that. Until high school, I never realized that this was possible. I knew about music journalism, but I had never considered it for myself. This past summer I fell in love with it. How dramatic. Music journalism allows me to insert my opinion and be passionate. Writing about a board meeting wouldn't quite have the same affect. Now, I am very aware that this is a specialized topic. Chances of me getting the chance to write about music while in my twenties are slim to none. What will I do, then? After going through the sports and business sections of the Associated Press Stylebook, I became even more nervous. I don't know anything about business! I don't know anything about sports! These are two major sections in most newspapers. This freaks me out. I know that these aren't the only sections, and that there are numerous things I would still be able to write about, but does this make me underqualified? Should I start studying all I can about business (bleagh) and sports? I have a hard enough time following the stock market, let alone the various chapters of bankruptcy. That's a completely different ball field. Eek. Maybe I should subject myself to reading the business and sport sections of the Chicago Tribune. Too bad my parents didn't use that as a punishment tactic on me when I was younger. It would have been horrendous at the time, but perhaps I would be better versed in bankruptcy and rabbit punches.
