Challenges In Writing

I face many challenges in writing for mass media. Spelling has never been my strong suit. I constantly check my spelling for mistakes. The AP Stylebook has been a help because it allows me to look up commonly misspelled words.

Another challenge I face is grammar. My high school was extremely focused on English. I was taught properly to write a paper, but never taught how to write for the media. This has been a change for me. I thought that my high school prepared me because college English classes were a breeze, but that is not the case.
