Play the game "Never Have I Ever" with a writer or author and you will soon find out that they have never been able to put down a first draft and have it be perfect and submit it as a finished product. Multiple drafts are created before a finished masterpiece can be produced. Some questions you may want to ask yourself so that you can understand what you would like to achieve from your document as stated by our textbook are:
-What should the document accomplish?
-What should readers do when they have finished reading the document?
-What information should the document convey?
Making these lists will help you organize and be more efficient in your professional writing.

Carmen O. - Another Day in Paradise
The end of the semester is finally here. Most of us, whether we are taking summer courses or not, will make more than one trip to the beach this summer. Whether it be a day at Ft. Myers Beach, a visit to the Naples Pier or a drive to the Florida Keys, let’s face it………our options are endless. We live in an absolutely beautiful part of the country and we should not take it for granted. From an environmental standpoint, we should all keep in mind that we are obligated to keep these beaches clean. Not only for us but for the various fish and marine life that call our beautiful Florida beaches home.
Although it may seem like a daunting task, cleaning a beach or public park can be accomplished in many ways. There are multiple societies and clubs within area middle and high schools that volunteer their time to collect trash and keep our beaches sparkling clean. For instance, the Keep Collier Beautiful Foundation sponsored an annual Beach Clean-Up and members from The National Junior Honor Society at Gulfview Middle School donated their time.
Where do you start? Well….now that you’ve completed a sixteen week course in Professional Writing you should consider yourself the perfect candidate to write a meaningful, persuasive letter to a Director or Public Outreach Specialist with a county recycling program, waste management district or county beautification program in the county where you live. I’m sure that you can convince them to donate their resources to make any beach or park, where you’ll spend your time relaxing, a sparkling clean paradise.
What are you waiting for?

Tiffiany R Memo Vs. E-mail: The Final Showdown
Pretty familiar with e-mail? Sure! What about Memos? I used to find the MEMO a little intimidating. It's so concise. It's so formal. It's so . . .so . . . so business-like. Then I learned that business e-mails should be all of those things too. Yikes! Well, here's a powerpoint I created that covers all the basics. This should get you started. Remember to follow the example of your company/ and boss' communication. Model your correspondence after theirs.
