I send all of my students a fairly long message initially laying out expectations for both of us. I posted it once somewhere in the mentoring folder.

I remember that. I want to use something like that once I get students.

Ok - here is what I've written for my blurb so far....does it sound ok? Should I write more?

~~~

I mainly do reviews of vibrators, reviews and bath and body products. I do not use form letters in my classes and I ask that we correspond once or twice before I accept students so that we both know we are a good match for each other.

My strengths seem to be in writing reviews that tell a story or draw the reader in through a song or movie or character reference.

I practically live online and can usually respond within 24 hours but may take up to 48 hours if it is a weekend or holiday.

ARG - editing it to be stronger and say:

My strength is in writing reviews that tell a story, etc. etc. etc.

That would be helpful for all mentors, IMHO. I noticed when I first started my class, that there were several posts about mentors being unresponsive and I think they wouldn't have been so lost if those things were discussed beforehand.

I originally posted it in response to a discussion in another tread. I assumed all mentors had some sort of initial message and wanted everyone to share so we could all learn and improve.

I assume you're talking about real bunnies and not the battery operated kind.

Yep - my smallest is about 3 pounds and my largest (a girl flemish giant) is a little over 19 pounds.

NO - we do not eat them and they do not make good stew at all. I keep putting Nyx in the kitchen with the stewpot and onion and celery and stuff. She eats the celery, pees on the recipe, and throws the onion at me when I walk into the kitchen.

So my rule is "no more rabbits cooking in the kitchen".

This is awesome.

Also, yes, gag. I still have to do the Summary, Use, Performance, and Design/Craftsmanship/M aterial/Size/Fit. In reverse order, easiest to hardest I have the design/craftsmanship mostly thought up so far.

I have sent in a request to join descriptive reviewing so I may be picking your brain.

Feel free to do so. You can always (once I get to be a mentor) do a class or two if you want just so I can help you through it.

Or I can help you without a class - that is fine too.
