Zinch writer to be?
Perhaps, by the end of the week, I can take off that question mark.A few blogs ago I advertised Zinch.com-- I still praise this site for being unique, original, and helpful. And, I still believe that everyone should join it (Here, I'll make it easy, click THIS!). This site, of course, has a blog. Though my blogs here are completely ridiculous and show no real writing talent at all, I am very passionate about writing. I'm just not always sure what to write about and more often that not, I find myself struggling with time management--good work takes time, and I don't seem to have alot of free time lately. However, I applied to be one of twenty new writers that the Zinch administration is installing in their blogs. I was to provide a writing sample, my Zinch username, links to things such as my myspace and blog, and any other information I felt neccessary to provide. For my writing sample, I chose the opening pages of the 2007-2008 Cactus aka - Marion High School's yearbook. I figured that -- considering it had already been published and viewed by others, and since I had gotten alot of positive feedback on it-- it would be the perfect writing sample to provide. And, on my "other information" section, I basically describd why I am so passionate about writing. I did not get my hopes up though. I was absolutely positive that I would not be chosen. I mean, there are thousands of brilliant writers out there...and I'm sure that people would are much better writers than I applied as well. I was surprised--and quite pleased--When I recieved an e-mail from Mick, the founder of the site, congratulating me on making it to the final round. Out of 500+ students that applied, I was chosen to be part of the 120 students that advanced to the finals. So what do I have to do to make it the top 20? Oh, just write an amazing blog about absolutely anything that I want to prove that I am Zinch Writer material. Doesn't sound too hard, eh? The only problem is...I have no idea what to write about!
So, I need some help. Give me ideas, give me inspiration, give me something. I just need one tiny little thread of something to spark my imagination--then I can get the fire going.
I want this so, so bad. I am absolutely positive that writing for this site will increase my chances for getting another scholarship--which I desperately need if I'm going through veterinary school. And besides, I would love to share my passion with the world...are at least the small fragment of the world that resides at Zinch.
