    See, he could have used "substantially" rather than "leagues" ... but he has STYLE.

    That's what some of us never quite had ... and you got it, babe.

    Run with it! Fly, young sparrow, fly! Be one with the wind!!

    I rather suspect if this guy doesn't watch himself, "too much, too soon" could quickly become "too little, too late"

    Anyone else find themselves repeatedly looking at the acronym TMTS and thinking "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?" Anyone? Bueller?

    Dude,

    Good luck. I think a little humility is good and you have balls by showing some vulnerability here. Obviously if you got the gig you've shown you can write a little. Just work hard, stick to your guns and you'll be fine.

    Congrats.

    Go places.

    Come back and imagine you are sitting around a table with Joe and Marge Reader and tell them what you have seen/experienced.

    Tell them what people are like.

    Tell good stories.

    Don't be cute.

    Write about what you know.

    Write local!

    The beat thing has nothing to do with it.

    TMTS,
    Don't write about what people are wearing at the Final Four before the Final Four.
    Best of luck.
