Down and Dirty
My general advice to writers, particularly to new writers/reporters who ask me how long a piece should be, is as follows: Write until it gets boring, and then stop.
Of course, younger writers tend to overestimate how interesting they are, so their stories are always too long.
I preface the column this way just because this is one of those days where I have a certain amount of space I have to fill, and I’m going to write until I fill it, and if I have to push through boring to get there, so be it.
Topics to cover today: Monday’s Town Council Candidate forum, notes from my lunch with John Wentworth, and County Superintendent candidate Jennifer Huh finally laying her cards on the table.
