Writing Advice

So I've got a huge writing assignment that needs to be completed by wednesday. I'd appreciate any advice, thoughts, etc. I'll post what I send to them on wednesday.

So I found my dream job on craigs list. Actually it's probably several of our dream jobs.
Here's the posting for the job: http://denver.craigslist.org/wri/74281655.html

I submitted my resume and writing sample, and am 1 of 15 finalists. I need to answer these 3 questions in 300 words or less, by weds at noon.


1. It is dark. You're 60 miles outside of Alamosa, Colorado. You're
traveling in a 1977 Dodge Royal Monaco Brougham station wagon (no,
really you are). The axle falls off (no, really, it might), throwing
your roof rack full of gear into the path of an oncoming semi (that
doesn't stop), your crew mates are passed out. What the hell just
happened?

2. Cell phone in the backcountry or not? Why?

3. Can you tell us what you would find valuable (from a journal entry
point of view) from this scenario, and what you could bring to the
fouram.pro website the following day:

After a long, hard, night of roadside Mexican food and Pabst Blue

Ribbon, the group is making their way to a local trailhead for a hike. Some of the members are getting a harsh reaction to the Cowboy coffee
that was served campside that morning. Unfortunately, one of the members gets an instantaneous blow out that soils a brand new pair of Patagonia Rhythm shorts. We're talking major catastrophic loss of control here.

First of all.is this funny? Or, is this something that we need to keep on the down low?

Write how you would treat this event, or not?




pretty cool questions, eh? I'm having some fun with them already. lemme know whatcha think
