By Sorry for the slight break in emails, I’ve been insanely busy and not had a moment to sit down and write!
But, for better or worse, I’m back with you now 😉
It’s been three days since the football team have been located in the cave in Thailand.
They’re now saying that it may be possible for them to walk out, they’re pumping quickly but there’s an urgency as there’s monsoons predicted for the weekend.
If they don’t get it pumped before then, they won’t be able to keep up with the rain coming in.
While they’re trying to pump the boys are taking diving lessons to learn how to swim out of the cave.
There’s also another team of people trying to locate the air hole which has kept them alive so far. If they can find the air hole it’s possible that this could be another entrance to the cave and they may be able to get them out through it.
I’m following the story and hoping they’re out later today.
Ciao,
Michael

Having a more solid demographic in mind is going to help you to create a more balanced and helpful course.

3 Ways to Hone the Skill that Can Advance Your Career as a Write
There are writers. And then there are professional writers.
Over my career as a writer and editor, I’ve noticed one key factor that enables writers to perform their craft professionally.
I’ve said it before, so you won’t be surprised to hear:
It’s the ability to self-edit.
A strong self-editor doesn’t just show up to work; they show up with a seemingly counterintuitive balance of compassion and criticism that allows them to write prolifically and precisely.
That combination is exactly what companies and publishers look for when they hire writers.
