Bud Kennedy

I enjoyed hearing columnist Bud Kennedy speak in class on Monday. I feel he gave us some great tips for writing. Also, he presented some issues in writing a column that I had not thought about. I am glad that he told us that even though he is free to write whatever he wants, it is not as easy as one would think. He writes what the people want to read, not necessarily what he wants to talk about. I am one who thought it must be wonderful to have the privilege to write about any topic you want. I realized when I had a choice to write about anything I wanted to in class, it was difficult. It was hard to narrow ideas down. Writing something that you think others would like to read and something that I would not mind writing, is a complicated task I realized.
