I don't understand why this isn't working

This seems correct.

articles/models.py 
from django.db import models


class Article(models.Model):
    headline = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    publish_date = models.DateTimeField()
    content = models.TextField()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.headline

class Writer(models.Model):
    name = CharField(max_length=255)

Hello Paul.

You simply forgot to use models.CharField() instead of just Charfield(), that is why it is not working!

Thank you Vittorio, I figured out the issue after I stepped away for a bit.
