Ed's Girl on the Hunt written by "Ed's girl the Second" is a blog posted by the author about how she received a one in a million job as an intern at her favorite magazine. The author goes into detail about how she never thought this would happen to her and how when the magazine called her and asked if she wanted the internship she didn't even think about her answer she just blurted out the words "Yes. Of course" and then hung up. She then called everyone she could possibly think of and said something like "Did I really just accept?" at this point she didn’t even know if she wanted the job it was just a gut reaction to accept it. After speaking to all of her friends and family "…with all of the congratulations rolling in from the other line, my smile grew." they convinced her to start thinking it was a terrific thing and she was extremely excited from then on.
I believe that the blog format was the best medium for the authors writing. "Ed's Girl the Second's writing fits perfectly with the blog atmosphere and allows others to stay posted on her current situation from the beginning when she was first searching for a job and how she stated that she would have settled for working for any magazine even one she completely disagreed with because it was her passion although she doesn’t have to worry about that now that she has her dream job at her dream magazine. I enjoyed how the author used the blog as a format for teaching others the cut throat world of magazines and I don’t think the writers writing would have been read and appreciated by the same amount of people if the authors writings were to have been placed somewhere else and its enjoyable to see a positive situation unfold before your eyes like the authors story.

I agree with your comment about the blog being the best medium for this author's message. Good critical thinking!
Remember to always check punctuation and watch out for run-on sentences. If you read your writing aloud, and you feel out of breath, you might have some run-on sentences.
