I agree, this one turned out pretty good. I love when things go well! :)

Special thanks to Mr. Fowler for the sound advice. I shall charge forward and edits be darned!
 
I found another really good resource for those out there that enjoy writing and would like to refresh and refine their skills:
http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/
The site has a wide array of various papers that help to guide everything from arguments to developmental stages of your work, introductions, conclusions, all kinds of stuff. I hope that this will help folks looking for more resources. The search continues.
 
I received a call from a man who wanted to interview me on the phone for a publication last week. I always feel a caution flag when I get a call like this. He set me at ease when he said he would write what he heard me say, then before he sends it to his editor, he will send it to me to be sure we communicated well.

This put me at ease and our conversation was a good one I felt. I do the same thing when I write about person, I consider it to be simple courtesy to get the information correctly recorded.
 
Ed, that is very true. Extending that courtesy (and honoring it) makes the all the difference in the world.
