Ideas and concepts-Creative writer

Do you need a flyer, brochure or newsletter written for your company: I’ve written them: Small private companies as well as government agencies such as the Eugene, Oregon Police Department. Perhaps you need an idea for something to do at your company’s annual get together; I’ve written those also: Published Author: Clips upon request. A complete radio show for The Financial Planning Association.(Portland Oregon.) Whatever your needs are, give me the opportunity to serve you .My forte is ideas and concepts. The quality of my work is very high. WWW.eclecticbulb.blogspot.com Leave your name, contact information and any message you wish to leave. Thank you. (an idea of my work below.)

The future sucks

What if we digress (or submit) to a world that has to have SEO in letters of communication and if they are not there, the story or message doesn’t get through.


Dear sister, I’m writing to tell you of our Mothers death.

Dear Bill, sorry it’s been since last Christmas since you wrote of our Mother’s death. I’m just getting the message. You didn’t put any SEOs in your email so I’m just getting it.

Wake up!

GOVERNMENT IS TOO BIG


There is no stopping the growth of government. Terry Gilliam had it right on the money in his film Brazil. We are in a disastrous segue to the future..

In 2010 more people work for the government than the private sector.

When the big three auto plants came under government control the final transition happened.
