Here’s my story on today’s front page, a scoop of sorts about the state likely abandoning its school ratings system next year. (This has been a busy week; when another story runs Friday, I’ll set my personal Dallas record with four page-one stories this week.)
I hate looking at my writing after it appears in the paper. The awkward word choices and phrase constructions leap off the page. Damn.
