You don't know what you really think until you write about itA comedic look at freelance writing
Published:
August 6, 2010 Viewer-discretion advisories are not something I ever gave much thought
to. After all, I was well into my 30s, so I didn’t have to worry about
something being too grown-up for my ears. I could take whatever the
movie/TV show wanted to throw my way. Bring on the swears and nudity, I
thought!
But
it was only when I was assigned an article about viewer discretions
that I really considered who they were for and whether or not they were
good things. By the end of my research and after thoughtfully writing
about the subject, I had a clear opinion and could speak knowledgeably
about it. I’ve also considered the ingredients in everyday items
like soap (Whale blubber? Ech.), assessed a celebrity’s career
(remember when he co-starred with a mannequin in the ’80s?), and
managed to write a levelheaded article about Jerry Falwell (you can
imagine my desire to rant). It is all very compelling and educational.
And never, ever boring! |
