ARTICLES BY MARILYNN
I feel it’s important to practice what I preach so I try to get my articles published as often as I can. Don’t be afraid to write. You can always write about something that’s obvious to you but a new young person may have never heard about the subject.
We call those ideas evergreen, not the color, the term EVERGREEN in the writing world means something that never goes out of style. As new generations appear in the work force certain ways of doing business or of social interaction remain constant. In today’s litigious and politically correct world it becomes increasingly more difficult to directly instruct on social decorum.
Ultimately most evergreen articles reside with the ‘how to realm.’ It helps if they come with examples, wit, and relativity to current events. Statistical evidence to support assertions often help convince the hardened pessimist.
