Just the Right Angle.

Most recently, I have been learning about finding an angle for an article.  It's funny because in all the TV shows I've watched about reporters, I've probably heard them say "I gotta find the right angle for this story" a million times or more.  And yet, in my writing, it never occurred to me that I needed one.  I've always written what I know and what I've felt like writing. In some ways, this has fueled my writing.  I don't think I'd do well in a writing job where I was constantly assigned something to write which I had little to no interest in.  And yet, there is something about learning to craft your writing in a certain direction to meet a specific audience.  While an 'angle' is not as emphasized in novel writing as it is in article writing-- I think that's what I've been missing!  What a revelation!  Now I can just figure out how to find an angle...then I'll be on my way.  Suggestions are always welcome. :)
