Suprise!

Donald Murray defines suprise as something that is out of the ordinary that interests you. In order to be suprised, you must be ready to be suprised. Look for little things that catch your eye in a manner different than ordinary everyday life. In my reporting "the constant awareness of the working journalist is not a mystery. It is something that can be learned and practiced." In my own words, if I was looking for a story I would try to find a unique or a "Suprise" about whatever it is I am covering. This will give my stories a unique edge and maybe a little twist that the readers will like and be interested in.
