Process Memo for Profile Story

For this story, I met with my contacts in their own offices to get a feel for who they were. I felt like the most difficult part of the story was putting it all together. I clarified my notes immediatly after each interview, and had my focus statement. Yet when I wrote it out, I found that I re-organized it an inordinate amount of times.
Placing quotes was also something that was hard to do, I had to rewrite a few sentences so that they would lead into the quotes more smoothly. Also I was unsure if I had correctly bracketed the extra information inside the quotes, so the quote made sense to the reader.
Other than those two setbacks, this assignment was fun, and I enjoyed riding my bike around campus to find the info I needed, and to verify things I had learned but did not know were true.
If I could do this again, I think I would do more interviews with people that are close to him. I was able to show his personality a bit, but it is much more trustworthy from an outside source.
