LESS IS MORE Less if more, even less is even more. This is a guideline an English professor taught about writing and editing. He talked about cutting excessive words (i.e that, just, then, definitely) to tighten story lines. A journalism teacher taught to write like an inverted pyramid in order of most-to-least important points. Tig,…

Yes! I have contacted a commercial bus tour company to offer being on their “as needed” tour guide list. If that is to be a partnership, maybe I’ll publish those tour guide travel adventures. Travel lightly and brightly, Christina
