Very interesting. My one suggestion would be to better incorporate the facts of the trial in your author's notes into the main body. You set up the meeting with that editor very well, but the topic of that meeting seems to creep in out of nowhere. I'm amusing you aren't intending to surprise with the fact it's a murder trial in Florida. Otherwise, well done. I'm off to Part 2.

Wow, Brett: You are my hero! You are actually making a very well living with your writing. I am also so very proud of you for being such an awesome single dad. It is clear that you care very deeply for your son and that you do a an exceptional job at raising him. It is no wonder your "Boy Truisms" are my favorites.
You also have mentioned a chance encounter with Cody that occurred. That must have been truly incredible. I can't wait to hear more about this and am eagerly looking forward to the next part of this story.
I am so happy for you that you have this big job to cover the trial and to write the article about it. It seems that you will be writing this defendant's whole story. Congratulations. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Hey Brett,
Capitol case---should be capital case... as in capital punishment. "Capitol" is a building in DC.
in my Downtown office on Demonbreun Street here in good ole Music City USA.---downtown should not be capitalized.

If I had the sense when I was in grade school, I would have paid more attention to my language arts teacher. Maybe, I would have joined in learning the English language like the rest of the kids. Reporting, freelance writing, fiction, and poetry writing does not sound like a bad way to make a living.

Hi Brett. I enjoyed reading this non-fiction essay on the opportunities offered to you as a writer (whether you like them or not--in this instance a trial in Florida) and hearing about the challenges of being separated from your son for several weeks. We never know what direction our life will take us. Your post is well written and clear for the reader. It's nice to read a autobiographical post. Marilyn

I have a question for you, covering things like this were hard on you, right? Did it affect your life style?
As for the article, I am totally enthralled with it as you made us feel we were in that decision making having a cup of coffee with you.

Covering cases of this nature can be very hard, especially when you hear all the gory details surrounding the circumstances of what happened. It can be difficult to stay detached and still "get the scoop" as they say.
Another issue I have had to deal with is not to drag the bad stuff home, or around Danny. He's a mite too young yet to be exposed firsthand to some of life's worst moments. I still want him to be a 10 year old little boy.
Glad you enjoyed this portion of this posting.
Always good to hear from you.

Comment from Hitcher
The story about to be covered definitely sounds interesting, a quadruple murder, the death penalty... bound to be enough twists and turns to keep any and all readers who like following such cases sated.
I've No idea who your Cody character is unfortunately.
Part one of the story was interesting and the lead up to the main course was effective, we now know the dilemma you faced when it comes to leaving your son for six weeks.You must be excited about covering the case though...
