The Beginning of the End

One Love……
               
         In the beginning I was given a sheet of paper and told “Nick write an essay on The Civil War,” or “Write me a three page essay on why you think school should be shorter.”  I looked at these assignments as tedious and time consuming.  I wanted to write about my one love in life, and not about these meaningless topics in the public school system.  I didn’t learn much from public school writing but now I want to take my writing to the next level.  My “One Love….” is referring to the sports and everything about them.  I am dedicating this blog to my improvement in writing as a take the path to become a writer for ESPN.  I have loved sports since my parents first entered me into the magical world of sweat, injury, and success.  I don’t consider myself omnipotent when it comes to sports, but I can say I know a lot more than most average joes out there in the world.  Hopefully I can connect with anyone that decides to read my blog and get the criticism I need to perfect my skill of writing to a level that will get me my dream job.  I look forward to your comments and hope to receive positive and negative criticism from all who read, as it will help me grow as a writer.  So please follow and I will try and keep your minds wanting more knowledge about the sports world.

  3. I like what I've read so far. There is one piece of advice I would give to you though. When you read other sports articles pay attention to the organization and spacing. Well ordered paragraphs can make the article clearer. Overal...I like it.
