I have always written primarily entertainment. I was hired when I was in high school as a music critic for The Grand Rapids Press. Later on, the editors let me do some features and movie reviews, as well as a little news here and there. But I was so eager for experience that I wrote whatever was needed, whether it was a profile of a musician, or a guide to finding the best book to help improve your Pac Man score or a review of the planetarium show featuring the music of Kenny Loggins and the Alan Parsons Project. In those days, every assignment seemed like a great adventure. |
