It would be much easier to keyboard it but I know it wouldn’t have the same effect as writing it by hand. I do feel much more comfortable with a keyboard than hand though.

Email is one of the most common forms of communication between freelancers and clients, and all too often, the clients have no idea how they come off. The written word can be an unruly form of communication. This hits home in almost any form of online communication.

Your circle of friends or business partnerships are usually formed by direct interactions. I will leave the pleasure of exploring Camille’s blog to my male audience and, as one of my female Facebook friends said, I’ll leave the pleasure of learning a few trips and tricks from this blog to the opposite sex.

Let’s face it, you’re always going to be learning, just by being engaged with words. This is where bloggers get a head start: if you have a blog, you have a good reason to put fingers to keyboard on a regular basis.

Now, when I say ‘don’t write’, I don’t mean you should take a break or get away from the keyboard for a day. That means they’ll grasp your razor-sharp message perfectly, learn from it quickly and understand it clearly. You’ll learn more, understand it better and remember it longer.

I will say, though, that Ali’s post was coincidentally timed – though you’ll have to tune in next week to learn why. You bashed monsters by hitting keys on your keyboard whilst wondering if you could hook up a nodding bird à la Homer Simpson. Griffin – Drool and keyboards don’t mix. That’s cool.

You put hours of effort and study into learning a certain subject inside and out. You probably can’t remember when you last put the knowledge you learned in university to work in your everyday business affairs. You’ve probably forgotten half of what you learned, too. I didn’t pay attention to what I’d learned.

We listened, asked questions, and learned more every time we did. Solomon – I feel that being able to discuss, talk and look at all sides of the coin is a gift, and yet so many people ignore the opportunity to ask questions, go deeper and learn more.
