Short Topics

Since I am a sports fanatic, I immediately subscribed to the L.A. Times Tennis RSS Feed. Tennis is one of my favorite sports and I usually rot in front of the television whenever a major tournament is taking place. The articles posted to this feed mainly discussed game scores between top-seeded players and who was playing in what tournament.

My love for this game kept me reading the foreign language that highlighted major matches between names unknown to many people and the scoring process familiar only to those who understand the game. While I was highly interested in the Nadal-Federer matches and Serena William’s injury, the topic for discussion was not varied, for many of the writers wrote about the same players and situations. I would have liked to have read wide-ranging topics and this feed was not updated very often. The information revealed in these articles was highly statistical and would have lost the interest of readers who are not completely obsessed with the sport.

I was exceptionally glad to find a personal interest to write about. Writing is always easier for me when I can relate to the topic. While I enjoyed reading these articles, they were more of a personal delight than an inspiration to my writing.
