Notes to editor Hi, I hope you like the book I wrote. Since this is the first time I have written for you, I had to take an educated guess regarding the writing style and “voice” of the piece. I took a risk and wrote the book with plenty of personality. It is closer to the style of the “For Dummies” books than it is to a textbook. I also took a risk and left some of the more adult themes in the book. I can edit out the adult material if required. I can even edit out some of the personality to make it a little more sterilized if you wish.

I have overwritten past the word count, which I am not charging for. I did it for two reasons.

However, after a year, he said he felt happier than he did before, appreciates things more, and it has transformed his life. Someone else, on the other hand, a woman, started a small health-care company, after a year and a half, the company was bought out for a large amount of money.

I received a multitude of requests from my parents and sister urging me to end for the day. So I quickly left indentations to signify where I should pick back up the following morning.

Lejla Hodzic Mrs.Monroe English III(H): Period 3 Journal Reflection-MP1 When first writing in my journal I struggled with how deep to go with my discussion questions and what I should be asking my classmates. I feel that I have struggled with this because I lack confidence on what I am trying to prove or say in my writing.
