Where as the writer reads simply to have a conversation.vI believe that if I am seeking a conversation then I will read the likes of books on philosophy, and culture of which the point of reading is in all reality is to learn other perspectives and as such have a conversation. I also feel that finding the literary elements and also new words could help a person open up to a whole new vocabulary, writing style (grammar, discovering elements,ect.) , and better understanding of the english language (or perhaps any other kind of language a book is in) itself
We were there almost a year, a year where my desperation for new music and my empty wallet drove me to the BMG record club where I ordered 10 compact discs for a penny. Are we not busy enough?

Emily the brave: How to write a CV for teenagers
By adding a creative font (not too wacky, you don't want them to think you're on drugs), and a professional colour (reds or blues are best), you are immediately enticing your potential employer into your CV. I tried a LOT of places before I got my reply, and got rejected as well (cough, Joules, cough), but don't give up, you'll get there- just like I did! EDIT- I've had a couple of comments that my CV is longer than 2 A4 pages, which I can see might be a problem

Or so the pros surmise from the fact that so many submissions, even very good ones, contain non-standard formatting, misspelled words, grammatical mistakes, and other matters that would be hard for anyone that handled manuscripts for a living to overlook. Fringe benefit: if you are sending out more than one submission at a time (and you should, if you pitched successfully to more than one pro at a conference, unless one of them asked you for an exclusive), noting the contents of each packet in the cover letter will give you a record of what you sent to whom and when
