The Article Writer

I thoroughly enjoy the convenience of the internet: so much of what I am looking for can be found right online. There is hardly ever a need for me to run to the library to search, research, and drive home again. Not that I mind libraries, but I do put a premium on my time.

One helpful site that has popped up for me is a blog titled, Ask the English Teacher. Run by Crawford Kilian, a professor of English at Capilano College located near Vancouver, British Columbia, Kilian regularly dispenses wisdom on a number of subjects ranging from intellectual property rights to the proper usage of plurals for words such as fish, deer, etc.

Just today I noticed he was instructing a reader from Singapore regarding the proper usages of drop off and drop out, plus some other terms that can trip you up.

I’ve bookmarked his site as I know I’ll need to refer to it as a trusted source from time to time, just the type of site those of us who make our living from writing are certain to appreciate.

March is here and I trust that you have recovered from your Leap Day frivolities. You did celebrate our once-every-four-years holiday, didn’t you?

Anthony Kirlew has a new theme for his OldSchoolSEO site and it is a good one. Of course, I use the same Performancing theme elsewhere, so I’m partial to the layout.

Speaking of layouts, I’m still trying to get used to the new LinkedIn look. The site looks great, but some of the features have been moved around. This past week I had contact with several members including Norene Wiesen, Vanessa Deakin, and Michelle Vranizen Rafter through the site’s Answers feature.

It is good to see that the Writers Cafe at Grow Your Writing Business has reopened. Yvonne Russell is back and this time I plan on stopping by on a regular basis.

Have a nice weekend. I’ll be back in next week with some fresh freelance writing tips.

Sound The Trumpets!
