I'm Gonna Be a Writer!

[Ovedya]

You definitely have a gift for writing, Ovedya!

As for 300, I'm sorry you were not able to see past the battle cries. Artistically and dramatically, it was a very well-done movie. My biggest gripe, though, is that the real Spartans actually had protective battle gear on. I never figured out who thought going into battle in Speedos was a good idea.

Actually I considered the male machismo secondary to the cinematography and the method of storytelling (If that's the right term). I thought both were done very well. You have to remember during the movie that it's a second-hand account of what someone saw/experienced. So everything is presented in a "bigger way" than what it may have actually been.

See, that's why I'm not going to be doing movie reviews. The terminology escapes me.

Okay Beau. You have your two thumbs up from me. Now here is what I need from you...Rofl!

Seriously, you owe me nothing less than eternal fealty. No, no, just kidding again.

the articles were very well written: simple and concise. I especially enjoy the fact that you don't abuse starting your sentences with Prep Phrases. On the other hand (rofl- get it?), I would prefer to see more alliteration. I know; I know...You have probably been told to stay away from aggravating, abusive, over usage of alliteration at all costs- well maybe they are right! LOL!

I was actually a journalism major at West Ga University on a full scholarship for poetry of all things! I obviously was not nearly as smart as I think I am though; I promptly decided to drop out and get a job, an apartment, married, and have children- in that order.

I admire your zeal and striving toward your goal. Keep up the good work!

Forgive my brashness but I do have this one piece of critical advice for you-

I think that in these unprecedented times of economic hardship the "5 Second Rule" should be extended to the "10 Second Rule".

Thank you! I agree: Avoid avid alliteration.

Thank you so much for the feedback. I really appreciate it.

Keep voting, saints!

A couple of days ago I submitted two of my best blog articles to a website called "Rafters (Jump On)". the site itself is sort of [not] like a blog. Rafters accepts articles from would-be writers and displays them on their website in order to take "votes" from the general public (Or other "rafters," or other potential rafters). Depending on the number of votes received, the Rafters reviewers (their staff) will decide if the would-be writer is good enough, popular enough, to become an <i>official</i> "rafter."

So here's my plea:

1. Go Here: http://www.rafterjumpon.com/view_rafters.php5?id=2761

2. Read the two articles there.

3. If you like them, click on the little "thumbs-up" icon in the upper-right hand corner.

This could be a potential for me to make a little money, so the more votes I get the better.

Thank you!

P.S. If you want to give me some feedback here I would greatly appreciate it. It's been a long time since I've written anything, so I could use some pointers.

You are a GREAT WRITER

Jesus also blessed me to be a writer also
