My readers/followers are aware that this blog has no commercial component — no ads or commercial promotions of any kind – and I intend to keep it that way. I did not undertake this work to make money.

I am, however, taking this one-time only opportunity to announce that I am today standing up Ruden Editing Service at https://www.rudeneditingservice.com If you have a need for the services available there, I will be pleased to provide them. If not, but you know someone who might benefit, feel free to forward the information.

You will not receive this promotion again unless you also in my personal Contacts list. If so, you may get it one more time, or you may see it once on LinkedIn or Facebook, but that’s it. No need to unsubscribe.

The themes of Ruden Editing Service are “where clarity rules” and “say what you mean.” I have chosen this line of work because I have long experience with it and believe I can do it well. The service covers virtually any work of written expression with a few noted exceptions. For example, I will not write papers for original student assignments. There are people who will do that, but I am not one of them. My goal is simply to help people express their written thoughts clearly.

While I am indulging in promotion, I want to put in a plug for my web developer. Deborah Newman at https://www.petitetaway.com This is the review I posted:

Deborah Newman took me from nowhere to a beautiful functional website in record time. She was always ready to address to my questions (including the really dumb ones) & responsive to everything I wanted to do. Took charge and walked me through the steps on related sites that I could never have managed on my own. Great experience in every way. Highly recommended.

Now, back to the blog. The next post will be entitled The Root of All Evil, but it’s not what you might think. Stay tuned.
