beandelphikiI have a story on the provincial election due to be in my News Writing teacher's mailbox in less than two hours.
I have gone to an election forum. I've gone to a protest rally. I got notes from speeches, notes from the forum, notes from interviews.
I have, literally, pages of usable quotes.
I have pamphlets. I have a whole list of news websites with info to use.
I've spent the ENTIRE DAY just putzing around. Not even drinking a can of Red Bull seems to have helped that much this time.
It's not that I'm just surfing the web, either - I keep jumping up to randomly run around or hop up and down like a jackrabbit. I'm hyper as hell. I keep finding myself running upstairs for no reason whatsoever, and back down again, and then to my room when I don't need anything from my room.
I have a good story! I know I do!
It's supposed to be 500 words, and I only have 329 words written! All of which is scattered and jumpy.
I HAVE NO FUCKING LEAD! I have an idea of what my angle is - I couldn't have written anything otherwise - but it's not organized in my head at all, and I can't get a lead to come out at all. Normally I can organize things while I'm writing fairly well, but not today.
My story might be late! Say good-bye to the honor roll, I fucked up again.
HELP!
