Trying to find that love again

Since I am going to college for journalism, specifically magazine journalism, writing has been a love-hate relationship. I know that it's a different style but it has been difficult for me to master. I made it a goal of mine to work for a publishing company, become an editor of a magazine and one day own my own magazine.If you've ever had a journalism course or went to j-school, they probably told you the ABCs of journalism. The ABCs stand for accuracy, brevity and clarity. I think that as I was learning the ABCs and other rules, I began to slowly lose my touch and (I dare say it) my love for writing.When I came to school I knew I wanted to journalism ( and to also please my parents because an English degree wouldn't suffice.) And I've always loved magazines;  features,  ads, horoscopes, photographs - basically the entire package of a magazine. As I am wrapped up my reporting class I realized that I don't like the newspaper aspect of print journalism. Maybe it was just the class. (It was the class.) I refuse to give up on something, just because of this factor. The other factor is that I am not sure what I was doing well in the class. For all I know, every story and brief I wrote could be classified as: meh or okay.As someone who generally writes creative fiction better than non-fiction, fact filled work, it's hard. Lately, I've been trying to "label" myself as a storyteller, as I am telling someone else's story with facts. We will see how this holds up when I take my feature writing course in the fall. I will keep pushing forward to do better in my journalistic writing, eventually I'll get it.xo Arisa-PS. I will be updating the site soon and it will showcase my published works, designs and projects.
