I'd like to begin by mentioning that the steps were very enlightening and useful. They somehow made the daunting task of writing, seem easy.
Out of the twelve steps to good writing, I thought "listen" comes easiest to me. I simply enjoy listening to what people have to say. I'm usually in no hurry to speak and wait for them to completely be done with what they might want to add even as a murmur or an afterthought.
"The good writer must listen for the nuance, the emotion, the detail, the odd fact." Although this sounds like a lot to do, I know it cannot be very hard, to just be curious and catch all the details.
The real task for me would be to follow the advice of "trust". I find it hard to collaborate and trust my co-workers. I've somehow always believed that the best pieces of writing come around through individual work. However, I do undertand that news organizations typically work with editors going through every story and require a great deal of team work to be put in.
The one way I thought i could overcome this weakness would be by working on a feature story together with some of my classmates. That should surely teach me how to trust the work of a fellow writer and understand the need for this step in good writing.
