I am doing the same thing. I got a new webcam and did all 3 of my video reviews last night, only to find out that they didn't record because the software sucks.

Huh. Unless that's rude. It's always tough for me to tell, because personally, I like it when people give me ways to improve---but there are definitely people who don't.
Meh, some people are going to think it's rude, but these are most likely the same people that think that their reviews are awesome no matter what anybody else says and don't want to make them better half the time. I've only run into that once or twice, but I think that something like that is no worse than the links to the mentor program. So long as you phrase it in a nice enough manner, it should come across like the constructive criticism that it is.

they are pointing out that its a class 4 felony, so I am pretty sure its a whole lot more than just annoying them and chasing them.

Alright everyone, let's get rolling! I know it is just barely 9 but I have quite a few good things to discuss, and I want to make sure I can get it all in !

I plan on discussing things from how to start writing, to writer's block and commas/sentences/ misspelled words.

I also realize that no one is perfect and we all make mistakes, I still have problems with commas and those em dashes myself. The goal of this workshop is to a) help everyone better understand some common aspects of writing and b) provide a place for reviewers to refer to (or refer others to) for help.

Any questions/concerns/top ics of discussion?

Hey, everyone! I'm here! However, I am multitasking, so, I may be in and out a bit. And kids molesting the ducks? I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't, but I'm lmfao!

I'll sit down and do all of my videos at once normally. It's just easier for me to try and pump them all out that way lol. That super sucks about yours though, that's the worst!

Right now I'm just working through almost 3 full pages of assignment cart. Every time I start making progress, my stupid self goes and buys more stuff. Although most of what I bought tonight is lingerie that I'm worried is gonna get discontinued.

I think that most grown-ups are ok with someone giving them a little constructive criticism. If their not...ehhh.

This. Unfortunately the people that probably need it the most won't think they do.

I think I overuse commas, and I'm very keen on learning how to break writer's block. I think I've finally figured out what works for me, but I don't know how well it'll work for everybody else, lol.

Alright a lot of my information is coming from the Purde OWL site, and I have a couple other links that I got from Selective Sensualist on B8tr Dude's thread about the editing program.

I would like to start by talking about how everyone starts to write their reviews.

This Purdue article on starting the writing process has some great ideas for getting a feel for how you want to start.

Who is the audience for your writing? (guys, gals, couples, etc)

What does your audience already know about this topic? (what information can you add beyond the product page?)

What does your audience need to know about this topic?
What experiences [have you had] that will help your audience?

What do you hope the audience will gain from your text?
