Currently, in our Layout class, we are working on making our editor’s letter spread in our magazine. Writing is something I enjoy and have always been good at. In fact, instead of struggling to meet the word count, I always double or even tripled it. I quickly found out I could also doc your points. We have been writing a lot more this semester compared to previous semesters. Frankly, I am okay with this. However, we were supposed to write about 300 words for our editor’s letter, and I ended up writing 884. I didn’t think much of it until it came time to fit all those words onto our page. Of course, this did not work out, and I had to rewrite everything. So, a lesson learned is that sometimes, it is best to stick to the word count even if you have a lot to say.
