A Review of my Blog

As the end of my mission approaches so does my blog site’s planned retirement. However, in trying to spread the gospel I have recently recruited a new expat into the world of blogging. Unable to view my blog because of government censorship, I have sent her a few of my stories in order to provide her with an indication of how low the bar can be set. This resulted in the following exchange:

The Review:

I presume this is your first review of your literary contribution to the world, so enjoy.

Ian's Blog: A Review

The much anticipated review of permitted snippets of Ian's Blog revealed a surprisingly entertaining work of literary genius from a chartered accountant. Adair's writing skillfully transports the reader to vivid perceptions of his exotic travels to the fascinating harshness of wild Pakistan, the deep spirituality of India, and the highly progressive civilizations of Oyama.

If Pakistani readers could actually access the blog without the web restrictions in this country, Adair would certainly have this reviewer as a regular reader, further expanding his established international blog cult status.

The literary world looks forward to these small glimpses of his remarkable though slightly odd thoughts.

My Rebuttal:

Dear Project Doctor,

I am both amazed and humbled by your kind review of my blog. It was with some trepidation that I sent you my stories as I feared that the focal point of your comments would be my need of an immediate mental health assessment. Therefore, your glowing words were much appreciated and have left me in a state of slightly embarrassed glee.

It should be noted that your writing was literature in its own right and I feel that it too should be shared with the world. Therefore, your review will be featured in my next blog story. Don't worry, there will be no identity disclosure and sadly (for my audience) I don't have a digital photo of you to post. I think my readers (i.e. Mom and Dad) will get a kick out of it and it saves me the challenge this week of writing something original.
