Re: How to get started...

Hi, Melanie,
 
In addition to all the other good advice, jot down a list of George Rasmussen's major achievements and best daylily cultivars. These facts will enrich the article. Also, was there some kind of error you were making that he corrected for you? That could be a colorful part of the story.
 
Top Ten lists can be used as sidebars if the article is to be lighthearted.
 
I prefer to write on the computer, starting by listing random related facts. Eventually a lead occurs to me. I draw a line of dashes above the random facts and start the paragraphs up above it. Eventually all the relevant facts migrate above the line in one sentence or another. The line and any leftovers get erased.
 
With best wishes,
Betty
