This is a writing prompt

Some direction for those easing back into the blogging world after a long winter break!

Step 1) Comment on one of the two August posts (found directly below this one!).

Respond with a few sentences or a chain of paragraphs—just click on the comment link at the bottom of the post and write whatever floats your boat (that’s whatever you desire or feel like typing).

Step 2) Create your own post! (Seek me out if you need assistance).

Here are a few ideas to inspire you. Pick one and write about it, or come up with a topic of your own. Either way, your published post should include a title and a body of text with a minimum of two paragraphs. See me if you have any questions or if you want me to read over your composition before you click “publish post.”

A few ideas to help get you started:

Write a Review—Have you seen any movies recently? Eaten in any nice (or not so nice) restaurants? Tell me about it. Describe a movie/restaurant/book/music/hotel, describe its positive and negative points, and write whether or not you would recommend it.

Write about the News—Has something interesting happened in Rosario (or anywhere in the world) recently? Do you have a strong opinion on a current event? Write about it!

Tell a Story—Did something funny or exciting happen to you or a friend over the break? Do you have something you’re really looking forward to in the future (for instance, the Argentina-Brazil game?) Tell me all about it, whatever it is.

So there you have it. Still stuck for ideas? Talk through possible options with a friend or seek me out for assistance. Remember, this is a chance to practice your writing, relax, and have fun. No need to stress.

Alsooo! The next time you find yourself browsing the internet, don’t forget to return to this blog! Read some of your classmates’ posts and comment on the ones that move you. I will be reading and commenting on all of your posts, in case that motivates you in any way. So go for it!

    "P.S I love you" is an American drama, directed by Richard Lagravenese. It is set in the lower east side of Manhattan. The main characters are Holly, played by Hilary Swank, and Gerry, played by Gerard Butter. In the film, they are a couple.


    The story begins with a dramatic climax when Gerry is diagnosed a terminal brain tumor. Knowing he only has a short time to live, Gerry writes Holly a series of letter that will help her cope with grief and will accompany her in her new future. Besides, he always sings off each letter with the phrase: "P.S I love you"


    This is definitely a chick flick that will make you not only cry but also laugh. Gerard was excellent in his part and Hilary did a fine job as well. She makes you feel her pain. Her acting is outstanding. You shold definitely see it!


    In my personal opinion it is the best romantic comedy in a very long time because of its originality and the touching story.
