Duran
I once met a man, his name was Duran. I know, awful, who would start a story with a rhyme. Duran was the type of character that needed a rhyme to introduce him, the fabulous being he seemed to be.
Difference Between Personalized and Customized Cover Letter
As you would take efforts to draft a concise resume, so you must take out time to write a proper cover letter. The aim of the cover letter is to encourage the hiring manager take interest in your application and proceed to scan your resume. Just as the resume has different formats, in the same way, a cover letter can be customized or personalized depending on the job you are applying for. Though both the words mean almost the same, yet there is a vast difference between them. Personalization is taking into account available data, whereas customization occurs when an individual changes the settings as per his/her liking. For example, when you click on some products on an e-commerce website like Amazon, it will likely show you similar recommendations the next time you log in to shop. This is personalization of data as per the search history and preferences. On the other hand, customization occurs when a particular thing is changed to meet the specific requirements.
Fan Fic Writing Peeves
So I've ranted about fan fiction reviews and reading fan fiction, but this time, I would like to share my ten pet peeves about writing fan fiction. Maybe, you might find something here that you can relate to. Again, this is my own personal opinion. I hope you all enjoyed this as much as you enjoyed my last two rants about writing fan fiction.

If there is one thing I want my hypothetical children to do, it’s work in retail. Not forever, just a short sentence. Having suffered through this myself, I know that it is the most brutal character building experience short of joining the army. I strongly believe that we in the developed world should have conscripted retail service. This isn’t because I hate everyone and want the following generations to suffer. No, it’s actually because I believe that the experience creates nicer people.

I have always wanted to write. Even before I knew how, I was already scribbling on the blank spaces of all the books lying around the house—including the Bible. The love for writing was never just about the thoughts-to-words dynamic, it was the physical side of it as well: the paper textures, the pens, the ink on the pages, the keys and the typing sounds.

Facebook or Bust
Facebook can be your best friend or your worst enemy. It all depends on how you approach it. We all have crazy, busy lives and social media can be the biggest time sucker of them all. I know there have been times when I’ve sat down to check out a recipe or a friend’s contact information, looked up at the clock and realized that 2 hours had passed... and I can’t remember why I was even on my tablet or phone. So how do you effectively get new prospects or customers without spending hours in front of your screen and away from your life?
