Eating Elephants, One Story at a Time

How do you eat an elephant? It's simple, columnist David Squires said. "One bite at a time."

As aspiring professional sports writers and journalists, we are all trying to hone and improve our craft. It will be a long process, but with every story, essay and piece of writing, we are improving. The key, Squires said, is looking for every chance to improve and "take a bite of the elephant." The more writing, reporting and editing we do, the more of the elephant we eat and digest.
