Catcher in the Rye = serial killer
When I picked up Mein Kampf, the investigator also asked if I had ever read Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. I haven’t, but it is most definitely on my reading list for this summer. I’ve been meaning to read it for years now. “15 out of 18 serial killers own the book, you…

Mein Kampf at a police station
When I went to the Newnan Police Department yesterday to look for crime and story ideas, I found Mein Kampf on my favorite detective’s bookshelf. As I was glancing at the books on the shelf, I laughed aloud. “Shooting, How to Talk to Your Teens about Drinking, and Mein Kampf. Nice.” He admitted that the…

Broke my employer’s car…
Today I was actually asked to go take pictures of a Career Day at the local elementary school. Of course I didn’t have the car with me and gave my camera to my mom today of all days so she could take pictures of her classroom. So my editor let me borrow her car… I…

Cozy downtown coffee

The life of a young journalist
Okay after a few months of letting the blog die, I think I will pick it back up again. The entries before these were pretty sad, so let’s see if I can find a niche and hold on to it. I’m interning at the local newspaper in Newnan, Ga., this summer, and I run across…

Networking
See the title? That’s all success in life is about. You will get the position depending on whether or not you know someone. Start with one person lower down on the importance chain or with a subject related to them and do well with that person or with that position. Don’t be afraid to e-mail,…

Sucking up and getting privileges
Be a good person when you first meet someone, and you’ve got them hooked. After that, it’s just a variation of your personality that they can get over. So here we go — Middle school. And yes, it spans all the way back to then. I was the smart kid, the well-behaved girl who answered…

Hello world!
I’m finishing up my freshman year at the University of Georgia, and it certainly seems like I can add to the insights I gained in high school. You know how your teachers tell you high school is going to be so much harder than middle school, and it really isn’t? And then they tell you…
