I went to a journalism session this morning all about long-form journalism and let me tell you, I can't wait to start writing! A teacher took a summer trip to show his students that there are stories everywhere; what started as a road trip turned into a collection of stories totalling 14,000 words.
After graduation I will be going on two big trips: the Wittenberg Europe trip and a Canadian road trip with one of my best friends. Hearing story ideas and how to craft a long-form piece made me even more excited to try it. I think it would be a fun way to document the people's stories that I learn while I'm on the road.
It also can turn into a fun challenge; the speaker joked that he could stop at every Dairy Queen on a certain road and interview people to put together as a story. Something like that would be really fun and almost like a bit of a road trip challenge for my friend and me. I'm already thinking of fun interview topics and different locations that I could find stories.
