About This Editor: I am a writer. Have been writing for other sites, but expect to do most of my future work HERE! My expertise extends from the esoteric such as burning hydrogen to the unpredictability of the stock market and my writing makes me a jack of all trades and exasperated master of none. I have had some influence over national wildfire and water policy and there are hints of a change in energy policy, BUT as Samuel Goldwyn once said, "A verbal promise is not worth the paper it is written on." |
Another writing sample, another opportunity that vanished. I wrote the following in an effort to land a better paying gig that I did not get. Oh, well, better luck next time.
This is an opportunity to write for a new site and enrich my writing resume. Since my goal is to earn money writing, this is a cybermagnetic opportunity for me. I am supposed to write something amusing, but like listening to the now deposed Don Imus one man’s yuck is another man’s dumb cluck. Not that I can’t be funny, but I have checked out this site and find it full of wry observations on life, rather than the funny peculiar material that often elicits belly laughs, particularly after having enjoyed a salty ham on rye.
I have been writing for other sites, including
Useless-knowledge.com, ArsCompendium.com., and
thespoof.com and I have also contributed a few Ehows to that site, plus some web content for various commercial sites, but I have found that there is so much competition for writer’s that just being given a chance to show my stuff is often the start of a beautiful writing opportunity. Unfortunately, I have found that virtually every overeducated high school graduate is looking for an opportunity to express himself so just being the recipient of some old fashioned politeness is often a blessing in disguise. Remember everybody thinks they know what they are doing and everybody thinks they are right, a phenomenon that makes the stock market so fascinating. Just ask all those millionaire day traders.
I can make wry observations about daily life, but also can write with expertise on some national issues such as flood control, where it appears I have induced a change in policy from a nothing is wrong policy but floods are bad news to the initiation by the current Administration of a nascent market for water rights, a redistribution of water abundance from areas potentially drowning in excess water to areas where shortages are expected through the use of vital pipelines and possibly a rethinking of the entire federal dam policy all paid for with taxpayer money.
I would like to point out that unlike our gracious host who is in Manhattan far more than I am I live in South Brooklyn by the sea where the streets are quieter and emptier and there are fewer cars on the street so you don’t have to worry about becoming a pedestrian statistic, although the traffic on the nearby Belt Parkway is fast faster than what is commonly seen on most New York streets.
We’ll see what happens.
