Oh, and btw, pallour by its very definition is not good.

Always with the doctoring!

Pallour is acceptable, though admittedly rarely used thesedays. A couple of centuries ago though...

Whilst I dislike thread bitching on principle, that is a good line in its genre.

By using the more anachronistic spelling I was alluding to the fact you look vaguely like a character in a Cadfael novel. 
Good luck, Katie. 
Quote: zooo @ January 19 2010, 10:32 PM GMTThere's a couple of punctuation mistakes, but you sound enthusiastic, and probably use better English than most of the applicants
I suspect Katie's English teacher says something similar.
Quote: Splodge @ January 20 2010, 12:01 AM GMTI've dug up a typical brief for a Creative Writer(...)Personally, I couldn't think of a worse way of spending a working day, so I stuck to production and dicking about in Pro Tools.
Could I just put in a quick word defending advertising writer as a career?
If you're half decent at it, it's well paid, good fun and you get to meet interesting people.
Plus it's good training for this lark.

You sold that very well. Obviously a pro.

Thanks for all your feedback, but AGAIN I would just like to point out that I am a school child. This isn't a real job. So there is no need to send in work examples ect...
But still, Thanks 
Oh and Tim, get off this thread if you are going to be rude
you could at least wish me luck if you are going to join in

Ha.
Well, I hope her teacher is a lot more encouraging than most of the miserable gits on this thread.
OK - well good luck Katie.
But this surely is a reflection on today's education. You wouldn't expect someone over 14 to make these basic errors - especially someone aiming to be a writer!
