How would i write a letter to an author?

We Answered:

Yeah ... I agree with the easy personal format. I think authors are generally pretty laid back ppl who like the whole smart witty letter type. Honestly, most writers are over the whole business thing which is why they decided to write in the first place. Just my opinion though, i just finished my first novel and as an author this is definitely what I would want ... hope it helps ...good luck with the assignment

We Answered:

You could just be honest and tell him the truth, you need more time. People shouldn't be afraid to ask for help. A recruitment agency...lots of jobs and lots of people looking for jobs how hard can it be??? I have never been in your place but so i wouldn't know sorry...

Need an idea on what to write about.?

We Answered:

The key to doing well in Technical Writing for Engineers is not to pick a worthwile topic to write about, but pick something so obvious and easy that your instructor (likely an English Teacher, not an engineer) won't have that much to complain about.

It always helps if you can make your problem have an ethical delemma component too, then always make the ethical choice in your recommendation on what action to take.

For example:

You are the lead engineer with three other engineers working under your direction (You gots Leadership Skills!) on a project. The project is nearing completion and you have worked long and hard to be within the schedule and under budget. Then during product testing someone discovers a major safety flaw in you product. (Make it sound as Dramatic as possible.) Now, your choices are to either recall the defective products in the field with great expense to your company and reputation as a designer, or to analyze the risk of failure and injury, and advise your company's legal team to start looking into this matter. Do a cost-benefit analysis of each option, yata yata yata, then decide to recall the defective units.

If your memo is well written, you'll get an A.




But seriously, I had to take Technical Writing for Engineers 4 times because I kept trying to choose what I thought were worthwile and meaningful things to write about. I made the assignments so hard that I couldn't do them. Don't fall into the same trap as I did. Just pick some dumb little thing, complete your assignment on time, and get on with the important parts of your education. Can you say busy-work?
