* Really great training session on story forms today. The majority of the editing process should be a joint effort between the reporter and editor on the idea itself. Layer-cake style stories are developed like movies -- when brainstorming a scene, make sure it's written as a scene and not an interview. Make people remember things in detail and in order. A story should answer one solid question, not a bunch of shallow ones. If you're interested in more details, I'll make you copies of my notes.
* Remember in high school when your English teacher said you'd use that goofy web-planning technique for the rest of your life? (S)he wasn't kidding.
* My pupils are larger than normal. (Irises are, too, but I already knew that.)
* The concentration of Escalades and Lexuses jumps drastically when you get into Scottsdale. (This, of course, is not scientifically proven ...yet.)
* I love the girls from work.
