Save drafts. Redraft stories multiple times.
Headline must be eyecatching and interesting
Topline must be punchy, and flow well- also be interesting.
Can follow up on Digbeth story- would be interesting. Get another interview, take the guy’s name.
Continue to work on the formatting + planning of stories; otherwise story will flow badly.
Remember to proofread for sentence structure + flow. Keep most stories short, accurate, and informative.
