Krista Ramsey, Song writer's motives to end mean

Keenan West, and end to bullying.

Within this column, Song writer helps kids summon courage to stop Bullies, Ramsey writes about Keenan Wests plan to stop bullies, why, and how.

Ramsey's strongest line within this column, "A statistic he shares with every group: in 57 percent of cases, the bullying ends within 10 seconds of a bystander speaking up." provides the reader with an intriguing fact, how Keenan West brings the bully bystander epidemic up. Instead of simply forgetting or skipping over the detail, she includes it. With the lines own paragraph. Krista Ramsey's word choice and order keeps it simple; easy to read and easy to understand.

Krista Ramsey writes in such way for the readers of each article to understand. By not using too many large words, she keeps us drawn in and interested. Whereas an author who may use larger words and a different word order could lead the reader to lose interest and move on to the next page. The three columns I have read by Ramsey, (For better vision, kids need time outdoors, Super Bowl QBs score points for great style, Song writer helps kids summon courage to stop bullies) all express such kind of writing. I have been tied and locked in to every column I have read by Krista Ramsey.

Now, I just have a few questions I would ask Ramsey if I were ever given the opportunity:
How do you come up with titles for each column you write?
How do you get the ideas to write about such unique and different stories?
When did you know you wanted to become a lifestyle columnist with the Cincinnati Enquirer?
