1. Why I would like to join: I like to write, and I think that this would be a great opportunity to get my work out there.

2. Desired section:
(Is it OK if I want to be in more than one?) Entertainment and Stories/Poems.

3. My experience:
I write a whole lot, and just recently I started a Sals Blog. I put a lot of time and thought into it and strive to be grammatically correct. I don't have a whole lot of experience with poetry, but I have one poem I think would be acceptable. I have it written down somewhere, but it's not on the computer (yet).

4. My example:

Spoiler: Click to Toggle the Spoiler.
Like most people, I like music. I really like music. It can calm me down, energize me, or just plain make me feel good.

But my taste in music varies, from classical to hip-hop, from classic rock to techno, from jazz to country (but only a little bit of country). My Juke™ has 100 songs on it, but that's just from the CDs I have. I have the Age of Empires soundtrack, two Jack Johnson albums (In Between Dreams and Sleep Through the Static), The Dave Brubeck Quartet (Take Five), and Crosby Loggins (Time To Move). I also got 5 songs from FunOrb- the Pool and Bric-a-Brac tracks.

The first time I heard Jack Johnson, I was listening to the radio when "Good People" came on. Eventually I bought my first CD off E-Bay: In Between Dreams. He was the first artist whose work I really enjoyed and whose name I remembered. That was a really long time ago, or at least it seems like it was. Since then, I've virtually collected a cornucopia of music by adding the tracks I like to my YouTube playlist. (So far, I have 34. It's low because the censored.gifs at YouTube have become the virtual censored.gifs of the music industry.) I bought Sleep Through the Static about a year ago, I think.

I also like a few My Chemical Romance and Green Day songs, but I only like those because they inspire emotion. They may not be the most *wholesome* emotions, but it's a guilty pleasure. The MCR songs I have on my playlist are "Helena" and "Welcome to the Black Parade", in case you're interested. There are also some singles that I'm fond of, such as Flobots' "Handlebars", "Nine in the Afternoon " by Panic at the Disco, and "Float On" by Modest Mouse. Every once in a while, I'll hear a new song on the radio and add it to the playlist. For example, today I added "Fireflies" (Owl City) and "Haven't Met You Yet" (Michael Buble).

My most recent find was Crosby Loggins. Like Jack Johnson, the first I heard of him was on the radio. They played "Seriously", and I was interested. I Googled the lyrics and the rest is history. The song is on my playlist, I can play the opening chords, and just a few months ago I bought his latest (second) album, Time To Move. I love all of the songs on that album. I hope that if there are any artists/songs mentioned here that you don't know, you'll look them up and, hopefully, enjoy them as much as I have.

It may be short and contain more opinions that straight facts, but I feel it's a fair example of my work.

To your question under "Desired Section", I believe that you are accepted into one section, but you can write, and submit articles in any section that you like.

I liked you're article, and share most of your views on music. I find it acceptable, but I'm not the one to accept it. Good luck. smile.gif

Thanks. I'm pretty sure that I'll get in. If they don't like this article I have plenty of other things to write about- I could even write something just for the application.

Isn't that just a glorified ipod playlist? tongue.gif

I'd be interested in seeing some more developed work of yours...

All right, essay or poem? I'd be willing to give the poem I intend to submit right now, but I'd rather give it to Emanick or Doddsy.

You sound like a splendid developing author, and I recently enjoyed reading your blog. However, what I'd like to see is a good, solid short story from you. At least in my opinion, they are a summary of a writer's ability and talent. But, it's not up to me. laugh.gif

I'll see if I can scrounge one up. But really, I don't do fiction as much as I do debates and essays.

Perhaps you might want to edit your application to include the World Affairs section as well? Since I've seen you in plenty of debates and you have a talent for writing, you probably could put something together about a hot topic or issue in the world today, you'd have a good scope on it. happy.gif

I'll think about it; might even write something for each section (except Graphics). But these are the main sections I'd like to apply for.
