Today’s Assignment: publish a post for your dream reader, and include a new-to-you element in it.
This is not a bad assignment but I’m not really sure how to handle it. I do not have a specific ‘dream reader.’ I am happy if anyone reads what I write, so everything I post is geared to anyone. I don’t value one type of reader over another. That probably sounds like BS. A lot of my posts are talking to other writers. This blog is, after all, about writing. But it also has MY writing and I hope that none of my readers feel like I’m not talking to them as well.
If I’m forced to define my dream reader then I will say that it would be someone who enjoys reading what I write. That could be short stories, writing tips, prompts, rants, updates, etc. You are all my dream readers.
Does this count as skipping the assignment?
Did you add a new-to-you Element?

Well, I’ve never said ‘BS’ in a post before.

I sort of feel the same way, I don’t have a specific reader in mind really, it’s a tough assignment today!

Yeah, I’m with you…. When I write, it is more for the general public to hopefully help at least one person in their pursuit of balance – between work and play.

Yes, I was pretty lost for this one as well. I believe they offered this one up during a previous ‘101’ and I still found myself at a loss (or lack of desire to engage the task). Looking forward to tomorrow’s…

I’m going to do the exercise in the form of a letter to somebody famous…

(I changed my mind – and wrote a letter to myself – it was easier)

I would find that harder.

No, I don’t think you skipped the assignment. I made the category as broad as I could take it – someone who enjoys reading and wrote a short, if really unfinished and really lacking in plot.

I think you did the assignment just fine. I came to the same conclusion you did … my dream reader is anyone who take the time to stop by and read my posts.
