Click here to know more LETTING YOUR WRITING SIMMER By Mary Anne Hahn LETTING YOUR WRITING SIMMER by Mary Anne Hahn One of the most important lessons I've learned about writing--and one of its most difficult aspects for many of us--is what I've come to call the "simmering process." You've just finished an article, story or query letter, and you get that adrenaline rush that comes with the completion of a job well done. Your prose sings. That opening paragraph, the one you'd struggled with for days, is perhaps one of the finest things you've ever written. Not one word wasted, and nary a dangling participle. You simply can't wait to ship it off to the editor, or your agent, or your customer. But that's exactly what you have to do--wait. In other words, let it simmer a day or two. But why wait? The sooner you send it out, the sooner you'll get the acceptance, the byline, the paycheck, right? Well, maybe. On the other hand, you might be sending your work out before it's truly finished. The piece might still be undercooked, a little raw on the inside. And at this point, having just put what you thought was the final touch on your creation, you might be standing too close to it to spot its imperfections. I have learned to let my essays and articles simmer, like a pot of stew on the stove, before submitting them. And it constantly amazes me, what I see in an article or essay I've written, after I've stepped away from it for a while. Typos and poor word selections seem to jump off the page at me, which I can now correct and improve. That wonderful paragraph that I once believed I could not live Instant Letter Writing Kit Comprehensive letter writing style guide for writing ALL types of letters, with over 100 formatted downloadable templates.

It happens every time. No matter how terrific the concept, how skillful the writing, I find that putting some distance between me and what I've written allows the seasonings in my words to work their magic. If you're still itching to show your masterpiece prematurely, try throwing yourself into an entirely new writing project, or take a walk, or clean out your garage. I guarantee that once you return to it, and view it with a fresh eye, you'll find flaws you can fix and untapped potential you can unleash. Your end result will be a something that you'll be proud to put your name on. Here's to your writing success!

Page 2 Presented by Daniel Toriola Hiring a Letting Agent By dan the roommate man Hiring a Letting Agent by dan the roommate man You may be interested in finding tenants to occupy your property while you're temporarily away from your home. Many people feel more comfortable hiring letting agents to manage their property for them. By hiring a professional to take care of their home, the homeowners don't have to handle typical tenant dilemmas. Choosing a Letting Agent A personal recommendation is always the easiest way to find a good letting agent, but if you don't know anyone who has used one, you'll have to look for one on your own. While you can go any “Joe, Letting Agent“, it's advisable to find an agent who is a member of a professional body or association. For example, members of the Association of Residential Letting agents (ARLA) have been operating for two or more years, have Professional Indemnity Insurance, hold separate accounts for their clients, and only take commissions from landlords (not from tenants). The extra experience and support of a large organization can't hurt! Once You've Found One Once you've established a relationship with the chosen letting agent, they will typically ask you to sign an agency agreement. This agreement generally covers the agent's right to let the property on your behalf and manage it during the tenancy. Make sure you read through and understand the agreement. Do not sign anything you aren't sure about. If you don't agree with a clause in the lease, let the agent know. You may be able to delete that clause before you sign. If the agent refuses to compromise with you, find another agent. You want a good, agreeable relationship with your letting agent. After all, he or she will be looking after your home while you're gone! It is a good idea to compile a list of things you feel should be looked after during your leave. For example, if you do not want the tenants to use the wood burning stove during their stay, make sure you put that in writing, get the agent to sign and date it, and keep a copy for yourself. Let The Agent Handle It Once you have signed the agreement, and the letting agent knows what you want out of him or her, leave all matters to him or her. The agent doesn't want you continually involved with the new tenants or interfering with their role as property manager. You have hired this agent to handle these things for you... so by all means, let them do their job! However, if you are incredibly unhappy with the way your agent is managing the property, then you may interfere. This is best done by writing a dated letter and sending it to your agent explaining the problem. Keep a copy of this letter for yourself in case it's needed for future reference. It is a good idea to keep all documents and correspondence with your agents in a folder clearly marked Letting Sales Happen How to Manifest the Customers, Sales and Money of Your Dreams Using Simple Spiritual Practices.
