Krista Ramsey blog

Today I read T.Y. Hilton is a good player, great dad  by Krista Ramsey. This article was about a football player that cares about his family and football instead of getting into trouble. The line that I think is the best written is "But it was Hilton's vulnerability, his heart-on-his-sleeve love for his daughter, that made a nation of boisterous football fans stop their partying and take notice." I think this was the best line because it gets the author's point across to the reader. this sentence also has a lot of diction like the words "boisterous" and "vulnerability". It also has good syntax like "his heart-on-his-sleeve." Instead of just saying "his heart on his sleeve," she puts hyphens in the middle. Ramsey likes to put a lot of diction in her articles. In the article For better vision, kids need time outdoors She uses strong diction like "sauntering" "prevalence" and "nearsightedness." In the article T.Y. Hilton is a good player, great dad she uses words like "vulnerability" and "boisterous." Finally in the article  Super Bowl QBs score points for great style she includes words like "elegant" and "adamant". Ramsey also includes syntax in her articles. An example of syntax in  T.Y. Hilton is a good player, great dad is "BS commentator Bart Scott-himself a former football player and a dad-had it right when he said..." An example in For better vision, kids need time outdoors she says "sauntering to his car-continually hunched over his smartphone or iPad." Finally in Super Bowl QBs score points for great style, she uses syntax like ""something of an event-dinner at a nice restaurant."

Three questions I would like to ask Krista Ramsey is,

1. How do you get the ideas that you write about?
2. Why do you like to add so much diction and syntax in your writing?
3. How did your career in writing start?
