I am writing a piece, as a replacement for one of the Girls her job is to write innovative ads, I gave her the brief, and I told her to ad lib, then tidy it up.
She spent 4 hours writing this:-
Moorston Architectural Concepts, are the people to see when you need a Architectural Concept done. They can do them to your Specifications, whatever those Specifications might be.
Their prices are very good and they are very helpful, too.
So when you want Architectual Concepts come and see "The Team at Moorston, they have 180 years under their belts.
(Moorston is not the real name)
The Teams years of experience add up to 180 years, there are about 10 staff.
She blubbered when the guy told her what her thought of it. Amazing.
That's pants.
Has she had any training? Any experience?
It reads like a 15 year old's school project, but if she's not had experience/training in writing ads then it wouldn't be her fault. Too often in work we're asked to do jobs we're simply not equipped to do.
She has a B.A in something, probably Art, we are mostly Artists. They just make us do heaps of other crap. but she should be able to put something together a tad better than that. in a Morning I mean its her job description.
bloody hell ,aww poor girl , no wait I should say poor girl ,shes making more money that I am .
Hey ask ya boss to hire me !!,I will draw customers in , like ice cold beer on a hot summers days
I'm only temping, I threatened to drop her, and the silly Bugger gave me a Final warning, so I smiled sweetly and said, O.K. shall I leave today instead of doing the rest.
He said Marilyn "You are not a Team Player" I agree she needs help but she also needs compassion.
So I started with am I good at my Temporary job, He said Yes I said well there ya go.
He left with her after Drinkies Woo Hoo I saw them go off.
thank goodness you are only there for a week, unless they fire her and give you the job...... what bra cup are you, and what colour is your hair
Average bra size not cup flowing over and I have black hair.
The writer of that ad copy is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Somebody gave her an assignment way out of her depth. She could probably write speeches for American politicians,though. They have a gift for using a lot of words to say nothing.
I particularly like, "They can do them to your Specifications, whatever those Specifications might be."
Actually, it made me think of my third wife. Rose is a fine lady, but she's no writer. Even as newlyweds, our relationship had more than its share of challenges, and I thought perhaps asking her to cowrite a science fiction novel with me would help us bond a bit better.
BAD MOVE!
To give her a track on which to run her choo-choo, I gave her an outline for a female housewife character and asked her to expand on that portion of overall (much larger and more complex) plot. Trouble was, all she could ever get down on paper was that the woman (in the manuscript) "cooked delicious food".
We were married for three years. That ended 26 years ago, and to this day I can't stand the word "delicious"....
So what you are saying, is you are likely to get fired again Marilyn.
That was bad Copy, is it Sharrie, that you are talking about, she Bob you know who's daughter.She has got more than a B.A. shes got at least a Masters.
She is only in her late 20's and has had 15 Jobs.
AAAH so thats the connection, she makes these ghastly scarves and sells them from $2.00 shop wool, that shaggy crap, I said why don't you buy a Shop or something, she just isn't cut out for working for anyone in the type of position she is in.
Dwayne is really all over her.

Hi, everyone! I would like you to challenge me as a part of my 30 day 30 hubs challenge.I believe a professional writer should be able to write about anything, despite his beliefs. What's more he should write in a way, to manipulate his audience without them know. After all we are talking about...

I know that book writing is not an attractive hobby because if your attention drags in between it will lead you no where. And it is obvious that for writing your first book you do not need any age limit. But what should be the appropriate age to write your first book if you want to be a famous...

I was just curious for those of you who write for Medium and/or Substack, how your earnings compare to what you make on Hubpages. Do you think it's worthwhile writing for these sites? I look forward to everyone's insight. Thank you.

What do you believe are the most common reasons why solid writers on HP stop writing?Looking at still listed Hubbers who show no recent activity, I have noted good Hubs they wrote which had few comments and sometimes they had not even replied to the comments they received. Just as with...
