Have you ever thought about how much writing you do everyday? No matter what your job is, there seems to be writing involved. Even in our lives outside work, we are always writing something. Whether it's composing a simple memo to a co-worker, sending an email message to a client, posting a comment on a blog, or sending a note to your child's teacher, it seems we just can't put our pens down ... or more accurately keep our hands off our keyboards.
Sometimes I find it hard to find the right words to express my thoughts. And this is coming from someone who writes for a living! When you are engaged in an "in person" conversation you can read someone's facial expression and respond immediately. That way, if the words leaving your mouth are misinterpreted you can quickly correct them. Not so with writing. Once you hit send, it's hard to take back your words. For that reason, you are under a lot of pressure to make sure your written correspondence conveys the message you want it to. Following are some resources you can use to help you polish your writing skills.
