ABSTRACT
Is this over your head? Too much for you right now? How about a short review of a new Oliver Stone movie in your local daily newspa p er’s weekend section? A humorous column for your campus news paper? Perhaps a holiday story about foreign students at your school experiencing their first Thanksgiving or Fourth of July? Maybe a per sonality sketch of a nearby high school athlete who recently set a school record? Do these seem to be more reachable goals for you? Possibly. But perhaps not yet. Start by writing about what you know. Feature writing includes all of these possibilities, even those for the top national and international publications, and they are attainable with a lot of hard work and development of your talents.
