Happy Holidays

Season’s Greetings

The holiday season for us in the US begins with Thanksgiving, which is a time when we gather with family and friends to give thanks for our health, happiness, successes, friendships, families and the many wonderful experiences of life. It has been a difficult year for many of us during the global economy but we are moving ahead and trying to find better ways of doing what we do so that tomorrow will be better than yesterday and today.

I thank each of you for sharing so much with me and making my year a special one. I learn about all aspects of life, science, academics, business, the arts, literature, our planet and people all over the world. What I do is exciting because each day I encounter new and different ideas and people.

It is probably not surprising that I have created and edited more resumes this year than ever before. I hope that all of you looking for new jobs are successful in your search and find jobs that will allow you to grow as people and contribute to our human society. For those of you who are writing academic papers best wishes in your endeavors. And for the author trying to publish that book, keep at it. Do not give up. I have recently heard about some recommended publishers that might be of interest to you.

In this holiday newsletter I will not introduce any writing tips or techniques but I will give you a preview of my upcoming newsletters for 2010. The following are some ideas for future newsletters. If you have any suggestions or requests, please contact me.

Topics for upcoming newsletters:

• Use vs. Utilize – Do these two words mean the same thing? When should you use each of these words?
• Copyright – Should you register your written work? How do you go about doing this? What are the implications if you do (do not) copyright your paper?
• Simple vs. Complex writing – Some research studies, some suggestions and some examples

And finally…

Best wishes to you for a fun filled, safe and happy holiday and best wishes for a fruitful and productive 2010. Please contact me with any of your editing, proofreading or resume needs. I look forward to working with you again and continuing this worldwide friendship that has inspired me and given me friends from all parts of the world, in all walks of life and from diverse and interesting cultures.
