How the short stories can help me write my own.

I appreciate that Joshua J. Romero starts by immediately pointing out how invasive Google can be, in order to put the task of separating yourself from it into perspective.  I think this is an interesting style that I would like to use myself, but I must be careful not to drag the story on too long, as I feel he did.  
I learned from Feross Aboukhadijeh's "How I Learned to Program Computers" that when you're telling a real life story and you want people to know you're not just making it up, it might be a good idea to include pictures, not only as proof but also to help make your paper more enjoyable to read.  I also realized that when you're writing stories online making the words bigger makes it much easier to read.  This is because a monitor is usually in a fixed position whereas a book is not.  In my paper I will do my best to make sure that I make my point clear.  I will provide as much proof and as many facts as I am able to. I will also provide as much entertainment as I can, so that I do my best to convince the reader that my story can have a positive impact on them.  I need to be sure not to forget to include my thoughts and feelings on the subject.

  1. I agree, dragging on about a certain topic in your paper would probably make the reader bored, keep the details and examples relevant. Yes, Making your point clear to the reader will help them understand what you're talking about. Good observations.
