Profile Story

Well with the help of my classmates I chose to do my profile story on Erin Johnson.
I enjoyed writing the article but of course I am my biggest critic and before I could put the final period on my last statement I could already see problematic issues with my article.
I must have read it over a thousand times becuase before I ever check grammar, punctuation or AP style I want to make sure that my article has a flow.
You know when you read an article and every paragragh seems to so seamlessly trail the last .
I think that is crucial in any article you read because even if everything else is perfect , without a flow, no one will be able to understand your paper.
I had a hard time doing that with this article. I found that I rearranged paragraghs several times, yet I could not be satisfied.
I am slowly but surely getting over my fear of editing so I really am hoping that the four other eyes could see what I missed.
I also think that I needed to be a lot more descriptive of Erin in my profile piece this would help grasp my readers attention more.
I hope I did okay with grammar and AP style because it seems like no matter what I always miss something.
Overall I am pretty happy with my article, but I know that it can reach its full potential through a lot more editing.
