What Happens If I Stop Blogging?

Plenty of clients have asked me for advice over the years on how to start a blog for their small business. And those who did take that leap into the blogosphere have been going strong ever since. But one client did ask recently, "What happens if I stop blogging?" I can't blame him for asking. You've gotta stop blogging at some point, right? No. You don't have to stop blogging. I'm still convinced there are enough topics and quality prompts out there for any company in any ind

Edit This Grammar Lesson: Principal vs. Principle

Welcome to another Edit This® grammar lesson. In today's blog, let's discuss the difference between Principal vs. Principle. Do you know when to use each one? Most of you might be saying, "Why, yes, I do!" But for others, it's not that easy – even for a veteran writer and editor. Principal and Principle are examples of homophones – words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings – and they trip more people up than you think. In today's post, I'll be going

Edit This Grammar Lesson: Bail vs. Bale

Welcome to another Edit This® grammar lesson. In today's blog, let's discuss the difference between Bail vs. Bale. Do you know when to use each one? Most of you might be saying, "Why, yes, I do!" But for others, it's not that easy – even for a veteran writer and editor like myself. For example, I was editing a few articles at the Denton Record-Chronicle when I came across this sentence: "I’d probably jump on hay bails because that was really hard for me to do when I was littl

What Are Our Personal And Business Goals For 2020? We're Glad You Asked

Our weekly networking group went through an interactive exercise this morning, where each participant shared his or her personal and business goals for 2020. Naturally, we wrote each goal down, but speaking our intentions out loud kinda made it all the more official. I always have a list of personal and business goals a mile long – especially when it comes to my writing and editing company, Edit This®. But this year I've decided to hone in on my Top 4.
