From Feb. 10:
When rumors began swirling last year that Amazon was launching an online plant sales program, the question on everyone's mind was if the online juggernaut would finally accomplish what no one else has done: make online plant sales a significant portion of the industry.

We've talked about the best ways to end an email; now let's talk about beginnings.
You might wonder whether it's really necessary to put much thought into how you begin your emails and other correspondence. If you've ever ignored a letter because it began with "To Whom It May Concern," groaned because your name was misspelled, or wondered if the sender was human or canine because their greeting was so overly enthusiastic, then you know that getting your email salutation right is a big deal.

From July 22:
Being a writer means that you'll never have a shortage of criticism, whether it is offered up to you in heaping scoops of vitriol from faceless masses on the internet, or you gather it yourself from your never ending well of neurotic self-doubt. Hooray. Add "being a woman" into the equation and your cup overfloweth. Fortunately, we writers are rational beings and so we give as much credence to positive comments as we do negative ones. JUST KIDDING.

From March 10:
1. Don't waste your readers' time. 2. Writing a book is like describing a building. Look at the first brick and write all about it. Repeat this process for every brick. 3.

From Sept. 29:
"All you need to be a writer is a pen and paper," is something you might say if you're one of those smug savants who can just sit down and write an entire novel longhand.

From Nov. 10:
Let's be honest for a second here. When it comes to quality, a large amount of social media content posted by brands isn't good. In fact, in terms of subject matter, copy, photo quality and more, much of the content is downright cringeworthy.
Here's the good news, though: Most of the solutions to these mistakes are quick, easy fixes.

From April 21:
For most of my twenties, I jumped from one dream to the next. But through it all, I secretly wanted to be a writer. I watched friends bridge the gap between amateur and professional, and I wished I could be them.
Because I was envious of my friends' writing success, I would try whatever it was they were doing that I thought made them successful. But the problem was I didn't know what I was doing.
