Progress

My latest RWI story is due tomorrow at 8AM, and I am very pleased to report that I finished it more than 12 hours in advance (and well before my bedtime). Hooray!

Of course, I spent practically all weekend working on it, but still. . . .

And I think I'm in good shape for the next story, which is a profile of a public-school teacher. I've already interviewed the teacher once and gotten some good quotes about her from the school principal (both while reporting my last story, which had to do with test scores). We're scheduled to talk again on Tuesday, and then I'll just need to get a couple of other sources to interview on Wednesday.

Hmm.

Why do I think it is a mistake to have used the word "just" in reference to reporting?
