Join me on my new fan page for The Hidden Helpers

As much as it pained me to do it, I deleted my first fan page on Facebook. When I originally signed up for my fan page, I clicked on “Local Business” instead of “Organization.” After taking VA Classroom’s new fan page course, I realized that limits my ability to post information about my company and the fields I can have on my page. So please, join me at the new page. I’m learning all sorts of new techniques to make this fan page informative and fun!

Why You Need to Give Your Writing a Rest

Recently I was content editing a client’s letter and was having trouble coming up with a good transition between the first two paragraphs. I took a break to take care of some laundry, and in the midst of folding a yellow towel, the solution hit me.

One thing I’ve learned over my years of ghostwriting and editing is the importance of giving your writing a rest. Sometimes when you’re staring at the words on the screen, writing and rewriting over and over, you can’t get it exactly right no matter how long you sit there! But if you give your mind time to rest, the answers will often come.

Just like Dawn and I preached in Write It Right, allow plenty of time for the editing. Don’t be afraid to walk away. Excellence can’t be rushed.
