How to Write Condolence Letters (Sympathy Letters)


 

I know it looks odd to talk about condolence or sympathy amidst the buzzing holiday trends, when everyone seems to be in their best mood. Tragedies and predicaments, however, generally occur when they are least expected and naturally no one hopes their coming, particularly in this holiday season. 


This is some know-how to write a good condolence letter.

Conditonal Sentences (Not for a Grammar-Savvy Person)




Previously on my post on subjunctive, I already touched on some conditional sentence discussion. In this post, however, I would love to focus solely on this topic.


As you can see on the chart above, there are six types of tenses that are used in conditional sentences. Like the timeline diagram I gave you before, I am using this to give an overall description of it. By knowing the general description, I hope you'll get a brighter view of the topic.

My Blogging Self-Evaluation: Why This Blog Should Only Focus on One Niche


This thought came up right after I read Darren Rowse's post about the benefits of building a more focused blog. By 'a more focused blog', I mean a blog that has more a specific niche (a position particularly well suited to the person who occupies it- Wordweb dictionary). Darren wrote that he at the first time and a lot of other newbies wrote their first blog with topics ranging from topic A to topic Z. This would be very easy to start with because we simply have endless supply of topics to talk about. We can write a post almost every day,  even  several posts a day, hoping to attract more readers, search engines and bucks!

Writing Basic Principle: Utilizing Old and New Information


All people can write but only few can write very well. That is the nature law. But writing well is not only about talent but also about how to hone (if your talent has already advanced) or create (if your talent scarcely exists) or revitalize (if your talent has been buried for a long time).

Monetizing Your English Grammar and Writing Skills


When someone is pretty much dissatisfied with their current income or just finds himself sacked owing to the crisis, the idea of getting a side job is naturally tempting. No one can resist extra income, can they?
What I'm trying to write is my own personal experience about how to make some money from my writing skills.
Just several days ago, I stumbled upon a site which is aimed at providing a virtual hub of freelance jobs. It was such a divine coincidence as I was also looking for a job that is relatively easy to get. And freelance job sounded like a perfect answer to my prayer. No complicated recruitment process, no applying. What I need to do is just sign up. Signing up enables us to bid any freelance posted jobs on the site. Promote ourselves, fix a decent service rate, and if you're lucky, you'll get some hirers trying to employ you. But of course, we have to determine what kind of expertise we have. I chose writing, blogging, copywriting, translating as my areas of expertise. That simple.
Now I'm engaged in a article writing job. I'll get paid $2.5 per article I manage to make. and that was just a starting price. I am promised to get paid more in case I can improve my quality in the future.  I just started and don't really enjoy the financial benefit yet as this is my debut work.
Hope I can make considerable sum of money by doing this! Dreaming of purchasing a new laptop!
