1). Writing an Article - Basic Rules of Grammar
Some would-be writers think they can dash off an article without bothering to learn the basic rules of grammar. But just as any craftsperson spends time honing his skills to make the perfect piece of craft, so must a writer work hard to present an article that will be a pleasure to read and not shame him for its sloppy grammar and punctuation.

2). No - It Can't be That Easy! You Can Learn a Foreign Language in Your Sleep?
The average human utilizes less than 10% of the brain. What’s happening with the rest? Can it be harnessed while you sleep? The answer is a qualified 'yes'.
Sleep learning has been employed with varying degrees of success for many years. It is not a completely passive process, however. You can't plug in headphones, listen to a German CD, and expect to wake up in the morning, fluently speaking German.

3). How Can You Do It?
You know it's true. Everyone has told you. You have to spend as much time as possible listening to a foreign language. But how?
* Co-Workers - Friends - Family
If you are fortunate enough to have people around you who speak the language, spend as much time as you can with them. Be forewarned, though. Daily conversation with friends and relatives will probably be filled with idioms and grammar that would make your foreign language teacher nauseous.

5). Dialogue Punctuation 101
Many new writers don't realize how important it is to send editors a manuscript that's not only properly formatted, but one that looks professional. If your spelling, usage, and punctuation are out of whack, chances are your manuscript will be returned to you. Editors don't have time to work with writers who haven't done their homework. On the other hand, they may be quite impressed by a first-time author who knows the ropes and take a long look at the work, just because it's been presented in a professional manner.

Writing business letters is a forgotten art. The Internet has made us lazy writers. With a few keystrokes, we can kick off a short e-mail without thinking much about content, much less formatting.

10). Be Thankful For Grammar
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm thankful for grammar. You heard me right. I'm thankful for grammar. I guess maybe I should say that I'm thankful that I learned grammar. It's really true. As an author, I learned quickly to be grateful for those years of elementary school, junior high, and high school grammar class.
Do you remember sitting through those dreadful grammar classes? I sure do.

11). Practical Guidelines to Writing Successful College Essays and Term Papers
Research is the backbone of any writing and the sources that you use for your research are equally important. Primary sources include for example, newspaper cuttings, interviews and any source that quotes directly from for example historic witness accounts. These are often considered more valuable than secondary sources. Secondary sources, are as their name suggests, second-hand accounts of events.

12). Perfect Grammar Is for Sales Sissies
If you’re like me, you’re not writing that banner ad, Web site, or landing page to make your English teacher proud. You’re writing to sell.
If you get an “A” while you’re at it, great. But don’t count on it. To get prospects to click, call, or buy, you’ll need to take some liberties with the English language.
As direct-response legend Herschell Gordon Lewis so aptly said, “Grammar is our weapon, not our god.

Some people enjoy writing. Some, like me, are even driven to write. Others hate it. They hate words. They hate writing them down, and they hate typing them. Some people even hate reading them.

For many people new to job-seeking, cover letters sometimes seem unnecessary. You’ve already sent a resume, so why waste time writing a cover letter? A well-written cover letter is the perfect ice-breaker between you and the employer who is one step away from reading your resume.

15). How to Write Better Editorial Articles
Writing an editorial article may be one of the most satisfying forms of writing, especially for journalists trained to be objective at all costs. An editorial article can be about anything and from any standpoint. As long as you have an opinion and can support it with facts, you have the makings of an interesting piece.
