Okay, so the professor said in order to write good articles, first you should read good articles. The Dean of the Journalism School tells me to read all Pulitzer winning articles online. I am. Religiously. But these articles depress me. They are simply so good that frighten me to some extent.
Knowing I would never be able to write half as good as these blokes out there, I think I better give up, save the world another mediocre writer and whole bunch of prosaic writings, which I believe are more than enough already.
