WRITING ASSIGNMENT #10

Let’s imagine ourselves at a gala publishing event in 45 years. The soiree is being held in honor of “Miles and Miles: The Miley Cyrus Story,” which is former teen pop/movie star and current Defense Secretary Miley Cyrus’ eagerly-anticipated autobiography. Easily the publishing event of the year, insofar as print publishing still exists in 45 years.

The events of September 4, 2010 occur on page 213 of this 678 page book.

For today, send the contents of page 581 and 582 to: loganliterary@gmail.com

WRITING ASSIGNMENT #8

A word-game/thought-experiment classic:

Scientists identify an advanced race of alien beings on a distant planet. They are unaware of our existence, and seem to have developed both similarly destructive weaponry and significant milestones of art and thought. Basically, they’re close to us in many respects, but there are many question marks.

In less than 200 words, introduce the human race to these beings.
