High School Football Star Exonerated After 5 Years in Prison
Last night on 60 Minutes, CBS correspondent James Brown reported the story of Brian Banks, a former high school football star who was falsely convicted of rape and kidnapping. Banks went from recieving a call from Pete Carroll and being recruited play football for USC to Chino State Penitentiary. After five years in prison, Bank’s accuser, Wanetta Gibson, admitted to fabricating the accusations.
First of all I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Cheers!
Pre-writing is key. Knowing what you want to write before you write it.
