Being a Journallist

Hopefully there's no journalists that read this. If you do, I'm sorry. But have you ever noticed how journalist's writing seems to be dry? No emotion. Mostly informational. I've noticed it carries over into their personal writing as well. Just the facts. I don't really feel one way or another when I read it, if I read it at all. Becoming a journalist totally intrigues me, but because of this one fact, I don't think it will be an avenue or opportunity I will pursue. I would love to be a writer, yes, a journalist, no. If I'm being over stereotypical I wish I knew. Maybe there are some journalists out there who can write their personal musings with flavor and feeling. I just haven't noticed any. And so it keeps me from going there.

On a side note the ones who DO have interesting writing have led totally full lives of other intriguing things. People who aren't trained to write about it, they just experience it. Maybe this is what makes a good writer. A life full of experiences with real people and real friends. I can get on board with that.
