Jessica 0 #1 May 14, 2003 I am being a features editor. It's pretty cool so far. Low key. They haven't given me enough to do, so I'm a little bored. Tonight I'm going out to eat with the boss and we're going to brainstorm story ideas for a couple of hours. Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluefingers 0 #18 May 15, 2003 yep Naccles .... Hey Jess! Brainstorming is lots of fun! You're lucky you get taken to dinner! We get to do ours around a stuffy boardroom table. But an abundance of coffee and fizzpops makes the task a tad easier Just go prepared, but also be flexible. One idea sparks many ... before you know it, four hours have passed and the ideas are still flowing. Just needs a kickstart. Good luck! Kerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #19 May 15, 2003 Thanks! I've actually done this kind of job before, but that was at an 11,000 circ. paper, not a 300,000 one. OK, off to work.
