Exciting news?
A headline today read "Exciting news about…" Normally, I create my own excitement about the news. I don't want reporters and editors to apply their language skills to writing about happenings when I read their choices of topics and descriptions of what happened. I am confident that I will furnish my own level of excitement about the events they choose to report. I don't want any extra boost from them. I believe they will indeed develop the ability to give me a professional hit of excitement that I will feel but not notice was dropped on me by well versed writers.
I suppose rewards and acclaim follow the writers who raise reader excitement the most. For their own good, they may extend their ability to manipulate me.
