Letters to the Editor

 

Dear Zobostic,

 

(I doubt that is your real name) I have been reading your blog for many years now and first off, thank you for not filling it up with pesky advertising.  I hate that.  I’d never buy anything from a company that interrupts me when I’m reading.

I’m not writing to complain, but you have way too many stories that you never finish.  You always say to be continued, and only a couple of times did you go back and add to them.  I find that very annoying.

OK, that out of the way, where do you get your ideas?  How do you keep coming up with stuff to write about?  Do you have a staff of people who give you ideas?  Do you get ideas from TV or social media?  By the way, I don’t see you on Facebook.  Why is that?  Would you ever consider hiring me to help you write stuff?  I can send you my resume if you’d like.  Let me know.

PS.

I’d work from home.

 

 

 Dear Sarah,

 

I know you.

This isn’t your first trip here.

Just how often do you visit this blog, and why?

I’m just wondering.

It seems like your time could be better spent.

I’m just saying.

If you are trying to learn English or spelling or the proper use of punctuation, this isn’t the place you should be.

This Blog doesn’t always play by grammatical rules.

For example, watch this – ei

 

I usually don’t respond to letters to the editor, but in reviewing your resume, I felt I should.  The examples of writing you sent me are very interesting, although you tend to use a whole bunch of words to convey a simple thought.  I’ve always thought less is better, but that’s just me.  Also, your scented stationery is fine for some things but hardly appropriate for a resume.  I’ve washed my hands several times now and I can still smell it.  Yikes!

Thanks for your offer to write for this blog, but I haven’t a budget for anything like that.  As it is, you’ve already cost me money.  Your letter came marked postage due.  I had to give the postman 43 cents before he’s let go of the envelope.

 

 

Respectfully

 

Z. Corwin
