Why should journalists enjoy flexible working hours? Part 1

Writing a sentence to state a fact or its meaning is normal.

Structuring a sentence to convey a struggle or emotion to depict a scene or one's circumstances is entirely different.

That's why articles in the world of journalism are called stories.

Stories are shredded into narrative words and events that crumple up to prowl the imagination in full scenes.

To find the right words, vocabulary learning won't be enough. It isn't hard to learn a new language or write in it, especially if the mind is flexible enough to absorb it.

Knowing grammar is good, and scribbling vocabulary isn't on the list to memorise.

Then how do you write using a high-level technique?

Simply, threading down a story is like vomiting out complicated perspectives mixed with internal emotions, struggles, and proxies. The writer has to feel so that their minds can draw out the right words for the mind to taste and comprehend.

Unconsciously, the talented writer won't have a problem pouring out the right words to paint their stories with.

The problem would only arise if the writer suffers from a mental block, a trauma, or is passing through a hard time. This can create a writing lock where the ability to write a very simple sentence is zero. In that moment, there is no better treatment than putting writing aside and doing something else to rejuvenate what has collapsed.

In other words, if the writer didn't witness or see what else could be seen, then there is no point in writing. The result will be no more than a report with jargon and sophisticated vocabulary.

That's why a fixed traditional working routine on the desk won't bring out the real descriptions of the outer world. Nor would the journalist be able to write beyond the barriers.

Flexible working hours can be a great fit for any journalist. Thanks to COVID, the idea crossed paths with many strict news agencies, and finally, the "flexibility" word can be spotted.

A quick reminder: famous classic novelists and writers were mainly freelancers before a full-time job was even a thought!
