A Couple of Things about the Blog

Hello Creative Writers!

If you're having trouble reading text on my blog because it is invisible or only half-visible, try clicking on the text and highlight the missing portions. They should appear. I don't know why my blog does this nor why highlighting works, but hey, let's go with it. Hooray for technology!

On another note, I had to remove a RUUD (spelled incorrectly on purpose) comment from my blog. Not only was it insulting to people in the class, but this person chose to be so anonymous he or she did not even sign in with a user name, but simply "anonymous." I won't tolerate unconstructively mean writing on the blogs, especially when someone is too cowardly to say who he or she is. This is NOT an invitation to rewrite the comment with your user name. You know who you are. That said, please enjoy this week's blog assignment (next post down), and here is a picture of a unicorn (they're real, you know):

#4 Where Can I Get One of Those?

After such a long hiatus from the blogs, are you ready to go shopping? For your new post, write an advertisement or sales pitch for an impossible product or service. Remember to come up with something theoretically possible--or something in the early stages of actually happening-- and try to sell it to your fellow bloggers. Think along the lines of flying cars, personal time machine tours, or memory erasure (like in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).

Be sure to include the following:

• Minimum 12 sentences
• Name of product/service
• Description of product/service
• Available choices for product/service
• Price
• A picture would be great! So would links!

For your blog comments, let the seller know whether you would or would not purchase the product or service as advertised. If you would buy it, explain what you like about the product or service and what you would do with it. If you would not buy it, explain why not, and what changes would have to be made in order to purchase it. Write at least 5 sentences.
