My Writing Sample For Independent Publishing


So, my best friend sent me a link to a little site called: http://www.independent-publishing.com/. And it is pretty dang cool. You can write about virtually any topic under the sun, and if you’re good at it, you can get paid for it! Told you it was pretty awesome, eh? I advise you to check it out A.S.A.P. But be warned, you DO have to write a entry essay to have your skills evaluated. No more than 150 words! No less than 100! Sad day… I tend to be very descriptive, so that’s hard for me. But this is what I wrote for MY entry essay:

“When I walk into a classroom, I see a pool of useless information on the floor. The information that has flown over the heads of students, or simply the information that's they have foolishly discarded onto the floor. The things that they don't want to learn, or are too busy with doodling flowers or graffiti letters on their notebooks to actually pay attention to take notes.

I fail to understand the thought process of these students, perhaps because I was born an old soul. These young people seem only to think about what’s happening to celebrities, the next party they are to attend, who they are dating, and what their social standing is. Their thought process only extends beyond next week.

To these young people who haven't a care in the world, let me tell you something. The future is a scary place. It's best to be prepared for it and know that it can and will eat you alive.”

Hmm? Like? Let me know!
