letters in the mail. The kind of letter a friend handwrites and is filled with
news. Or maybe even not that full of news. I love writing letters, too,
imagining the smile on the recipients face when they see something other than a
bill or sales circular waiting in the mailbox. Though, like many of us, I
often don't make the time to pen a note and mail it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

keep the Art of Letter Writing alive. As part of that mission, I am creating
cards. Simple, blank inside, only-needs-a first-class-stamp variety of cards.
You can see them <a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.amymarieorozco.com/new-products/" href="https://www.amymarieorozco.com/new-products/">here</a>. I
find the process relaxing. Even when there is a hiccup, such as not waiting
long enough for the paint to dry, and I have to start anew. My focus is on the
process. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

them along with a message. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Happy New Year! Here's to hoping 2018, <i>aka</i> the Year of the Dog, is the best ever.<br />
<br />
Even with the ash of the Thomas Fire still evident, my 2018 is off to a fine start.<br />
<br />
Example: On Tuesday, Jan. 2, I ordered (online) a new office chair, which was scheduled to arrive between 8 to 10 business days. On Wednesday, Jan. 3, the chair arrived late afternoon. I thought it best not to tackle assembling the chair after a full workday, so it sat, unopened, in its box until Thursday morning, when I figured I would get out all the parts and read the directions. Then start putting it together on Friday.<br />
<br />
"Friday? Why wait?" you might ask.<br />
<br />
Because I'm really not very good at this sort of thing. Nor is my husband. Definitely neither of us enjoy it. Furniture assembly is probably the closest we've come to divorce. Really and truly. Infidelity, nope. Fiscal fights, nope. In-law misunderstandings, a wee bit. Unfair distribution of labor in regards to household chores, more than a tad. Whose turn is it to be Designated Driver, sometimes ...<br />
<br />
Well, you get the picture. So I figured, best to take it slow and easy. Maybe get some special snacks for Friday to associate the assembly with pleasantness.<br />
<br />
Yesterday (Thursday) I took out all named 7 parts and 7 pieces of hardware (including supplied Allen wrench). The five steps of directions seemed easy enough, so I thought, "Go ahead, give it a whirl. You can stop anytime as you are so far ahead of schedule with the early delivery and assembling starting a day early."<br />
<br />
Within 30 minutes, my new snazzy red leather-lookalike chair was ready for me to plop into and start working. And here I am telling you about my wonderful start to 2018.<br />
<br />
Hope you have as nice a start to the Year of the Dog as I did.<br />
<br />
BTW, the chair's official name is Dorado Office Chair. It comes in a choice of colors. I ordered it from Costco.<br />
<br />
And, I must point out, as it's in my line of work, there should have been eight parts listed with directions of six steps. They forgot the thingee (black plastic) between the base and pneumatic cylinder

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I recently finished two big projects. It's a good feeling to have wiped the slate clean. There's more time for the little things like not hurrying through a newsletter or spending a few minutes tidying up my office.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the flip side, I'm on the hunt for a new work project. A <i>billable</i> new work project. My bread and butter is clear and concise writing, such as journalism, copywriting, corporate communications, and other straightforward prose. My style translates well to social media, too. Brevity has its rewards.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Keeping the faith is the most important thing I can do while looking for more work. The actual "looking" part isn't difficult or distasteful, though it can be a challenge to remain optimistic the closer the first of the month and all the due bills inch forward. If you hear of anything, please keep me in mind.</span><br />

Work is slow. Or should I say, "It has stopped."<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Carpinteria Magazine</i> just hit the streets. There's a short lull until we start revving up for the next issue. Additionally, there's been some client attrition in my business. It happens.<br />
<br />
Today I find myself facing a day of no billable hours. In many ways, a day without deadlines is something to be treasured. In other ways, a day without deadlines is nerve-wracking.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the ways I handle a downturn in billable hours:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Freak out. </b>Fully and completely. Typically lasts less than a few hours.</li>
<li><b>Regroup. </b>Embrace the huge cache of "free time" to take care of non-billable items such as follow <i><a href="https://www.realsimple.com/" target="_blank">Real Simple</a></i> magazine's advice on "Easy Ways to Make Your Office Happier" and tidy my email inbox.</li>
<li><b>Hunt.</b> Troll Web sites such as <a href="https://www.mediabistro.com/" target="_blank">MediaBistro</a>, <a href="http://www.journalismjobs.com/index.php" target="_blank">JournalismJobs</a>, and, of course, Craigslist, among other platforms. The hunting is kind of fun, though it's a lot more fun when I'm not so hungry for work. </li>
<li><b>Market.</b> Update social media and engage. Send an email to prospective clients about what I do. Attend meetings of professional organizations of which I belong, such <a href="http://awcsb.org/" target="_blank">Association for Women in Communications, Santa Barbara chapter</a>. </li>

I have been lucky that paying work usually shows up before I've had time to thoroughly enjoy some non-billable time. Today I keep the faith that that will happen again. And it will, as long as I keep up my end by doing what I need to do to get more work and by keeping the faith.<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here's an idea whose time has come: Sustainable Blogging. This is not my idea and take no credit whatsoever. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Credit goes to <a href="http://cooperativewisdom.org/" target="_blank">Cooperative Wisdom</a> authors Donal Scherer and Carolyn Jabs, who blogged about it. Click <a href="http://cooperativewisdom.org/sustainable-blogging/" target="_blank">here</a> to read it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My takeaway from the post is that we are all so overwhelmed, not only with everyday life but also with the digital bombardment that accompanies us everywhere. Is it really necessary to post for posting's sake? Wouldn't it be better to have something of value to say or share? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Your takeaway probably will be different, but I guarantee it will be of value. Click <a href="http://cooperativewisdom.org/sustainable-blogging/" target="_blank">here</a> and take a couple of minutes to read the Sustainable Blogging post. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I liken the idea to the Slow Food movement, which started in response to fast food. Slow Food is about purposefully taking time to make a delicious and nutritious meal and then savoring the effort. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This probably isn't going to make me popular with people who sell print advertising. I thought it worth sharing, anyway, because I'm frequently asked about how one goes about getting ink in a newspaper or magazine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's part of an email I sent answering someone who recently asked me that question. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i>"Regarding the local newspapers, of course, any of them would be happy to sell you space to run an article praising your business. </i></span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The trick is to make the article sound more OpEd-ish and tailor it to the newspaper's readership. Then the paper may run it as editorial rather than advertising. You don't pay and, more than likely, they don't pay you. </span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's what I suggest: </span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Create a list of newspapers/magazines/outlets and check the editorial guidelines. </span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Decide which ones you want to target. </span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Massage the article to fit the newspaper/magazine/outlet. </span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Call the editor(s) to say you're sending the article. </span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Send the article. </span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Follow up with the editor(s).</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pray. </span></i></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>There's no guarantee that the article will print, but it might. </i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>If nothing else, you'll have started a working relationship with newspapers/magazines/outlets and a database. You can send news items on a regular basis, such as a second office, you've hired a new salesperson, your product won an award, and so on."</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you'll give the above a try. Your business deserves some ink. </span></div>

May 2017 bring you everything your heart desires.<br />

I'm looking forward to a year filled with enjoying my writing. So, I've decided to let go of resolutions of how I am going to post all sorts of Facebook updates, blog bits, and all other social media stuff.<br />
<br />
The pressure is off, which means I will probably get around to doing the stuff. LOL. You know, reverse psychology.<br />
<br />
Here a few notes I received this month. I want to share them, not to brag, but to demonstrate how a few sentences can really make my day.<br />

<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">More than once, I've thought, "If I would follow my own advice, I could rule the world." Today presented a perfect opportunity to do just that ... uh, follow my own advice, that is. A friend and I have been helping each other. She's looking for a new job; I'm (as always) looking for new business. In response to her email about not feeling motivated, here's how I answered: </span></i></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">"</span><span style="font-size: 16px;">Yeah, the motivation thing is tough to sustain. Real tough at times. </span></span><br />
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I find it difficult to keep the faith in doing small steps. I often think "Oh, it won't matter, what's the use? This is stupid." <span style="font-size: 12pt;">But those small steps always add up and I'm always surprised they do. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How about trying something small and different? A few years back, 15 or more, things really weren't how I wanted them to be in a number of areas in my life. I probably read somewhere about doing something different. So I decided I wasn't going to sit in my usual place on the couch. (Thinking, of course, that this was stupid, but hey, what did I have to lose.) It wasn't like I sat on the opposite end of the couch and Publisher's Clearing House immediately knocked on our door. But I did consciously keep the change up for a bit, which had a ripple effect on some other stuff. Now I can't recall exactly what but I remember the feeling and talking about it with Al. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I think the theory is that you start looking at things differently - though it's almost imperceptible, extremely subtle to you. And by looking at things differently you come up with new ways to live the life you want to lead. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You could brush your teeth with the opposite hand, get out of the other side of the bed, eat your breakfast outside (you guys have a really nice patio and patio furniture) or don't even sit on the couch (or whatever). Of course, the idea is to keep on keeping on with the job hunt or whatever. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">How about deciding on a small change and reporting back to me? </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And how about taking one step today toward finding a job? Have you written out your dream job? How about calling/emailing the pet resort place if you haven't heard back from them? Look online for an adult ed acting class in your area. Choose a company you'd love to work and check their Web site for the Careers tab or how to get hired. Send your resume to your former boss with a note you're looking and if he hears of anything to keep you in mind (if you haven't done so already). </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">After I hear back on your small change, I'll send you one I'm going to do.</span><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-size: large;">"</span></span><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></span><br />
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After sending the email, I thought, "A small step I could do for my business is turn this into a blog post. Practice putting more of my writing out in the open. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

Part of the planning process was was the decision to treat myself to "<a href="http://konmari.com/books/" target="_blank">The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up</a>" by Marie Kondoh at <a href="http://www.powells.com/" target="_blank">Powell's Books</a>.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed the book very much. One, I love reading about organizing, planning, and straightening up and usually become inspired to <i>actually</i> do some organizing and straightening up. The book delivered on that account.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgidfC8Z6UUWtHuKfrIcxah2KT-sXLYiClFUoGeMQkRvtXZ44cko_KMX69y62EOgxlsFtGK07wSq7hzsZ8WOBagxvfsP81PrL8WSk-ZsRxAdFpT74nNTvyGGzDnnd0R6MBUGSkv4ZzvLuQ/s1600/other+tidying+up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgidfC8Z6UUWtHuKfrIcxah2KT-sXLYiClFUoGeMQkRvtXZ44cko_KMX69y62EOgxlsFtGK07wSq7hzsZ8WOBagxvfsP81PrL8WSk-ZsRxAdFpT74nNTvyGGzDnnd0R6MBUGSkv4ZzvLuQ/s320/other+tidying+up.jpg" width="224" /></a></div>
<br />
Written in first person, the book has a conversational tone. Marie Kondoh is like a friend giving you "the straight dope." She really lays it on the line. And some of her advice is a bit surprising. Here's an example:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>"My basic principle for sorting papers is to throw them all away." </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
Truly, without exaggeration, I can say that's one of the best things I have read EVER in a book. Any kind of book - non-fiction, fiction, self-help, reference, and so on.<br />
<br />
She follows the above principle with this: "My clients are stunned when I say this, but there is nothing more annoying than papers. After all, they will never inspire joy, mo matter how carefully you keep them. For this reason, <b>I recommend you dispose of anything that does not fall into one of three categories: currently in use, needed for a limited period of time, or must be kept indefinitely. </b>(The bolding is hers.)<br />
<br />
Ms. Kondoh's guiding philosophy is if something gives you joy, keep it. Otherwise get rid of it. A pragmatic approach to say the least.<br />
<br />
I could share her approach to clothing and books, but then I would be robbing some of the pleasure gained from reading "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up." I encourage you to buy your own copy. I also encourage you to buy it from an independent bookseller.<br />
<br />

<br />
If you haven't been to Powell's Books, I highly suggest it. I think it's worth a trip to Portland. Next time I visit, maybe I'll pick up "Spark Joy," the newest book by Marie Kondoh.Amy Marie Orozcohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04985535252256213099noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302488773173853543.post-31690404302575711552016-06-15T13:18:00.000-07:002016-06-15T13:18:17.181-07:00Animal Writes - #Train4Rewards Blog Party<a border="”0″" href="http://www.companionanimalpsychology.com/2016/06/the-train-for-rewards-blog-party.html" rel="”nofollow”" target="”_blank”"><img src="https://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r606/companimalpsych/train4rewards_pawprint_button_small_zps2o1oxo4z.jpg" /></a><br />

</tbody></table>
Here's the story I'd like to share:<br />
<br />
Meet Nella, she's the muted calico pictured above. Muted refers to her coloring, not her personality. Nella came to live with us via <a href="http://www.catalystforcats.org/" target="_blank">Catalyst for Cats</a>, a nonprofit dedicated to helping stray and feral cats in Santa Barbara County. I'm on the board of Catalyst for Cats and help with publicity.<br />
<br />
When 3-year-old Nella came to live at our house, only one word was used to describe her: <b><i>MEAN!</i></b> I think family, friends, visitors, and neighbors wanted to use other descriptors but were too polite.<br />
<br />
After a few months, we could actually pet Nella without getting bitten or scratched. A few more months and we could pick her up. Later on, she'd sit next to us on the couch to be pet, and then eventually strike us. Slowly and surely, she became more lovable and friendly.<br />
<br />
Each day was a journey. Lots and lots of treats were involved. Always soothing voices. Well, that's not true. Honestly, more than once my temper broke and I yelled at her.<br />
<br />
Nella lived with us for 14 years. She had become quite matey in her last few years. Though, with all her purring and snuggling, there was always the chance of a swipe, scratch, or bite. She never seemed to put her feral past behind her.<br />
<br />
All the rewards and treats paid off, however, and Nella became a loving, involved member of our family.<br />
<br />
I'd like to thank my colleague, <a href="http://inquisitivecanine.com/about-joan-and-poncho/" target="_blank">Joan Hunter Mayer,</a> of the <a href="http://inquisitivecanine.com/blog/" target="_blank">Inquisitive Canine</a>, for sharing the word on the <a href="http://www.companionanimalpsychology.com/" target="_blank">#Train4Rewards Blog Party</a>.

Just in time for some summer reading, Carpinteria Magazine is hot off the press and available all over Carpinteria and in select locations in Santa Barbara's south coast. Here's link to pick up locations: <a data-mce-href="http://carpinteriamagazine.com/pick-it-up-here" href="http://carpinteriamagazine.com/pick-it-up-here" rel="nofollow" style="color: #8c68cb; text-decoration: none;" textform="false">Where in the world is Carp Mag</a>?</div>

That's the Traveling Hurtados on the cover. I think you'll enjoy reading their story, which I wrote. Also have a couple of other pieces in the magazine. </div>

<span style="line-height: 21.3px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Writers lock themselves in hotel rooms or escape to an isolated area for a reason – to write. It’s so much easier to write when no one else is around. To write for hours and hours. And hours. That’s why I love the occasional dog/house-sitting gig that comes my way.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 21.3px;">I’m about 20 miles from home in a three-bedroom home with four very nice dogs, a large yard, and excellent wi-fi. My workspace is the dining room table. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 21.3px;">My computer/laptop, paper, and pens are the only things I need for my writer’s retreat. I’ll use the timer on my phone once in a while. But that’s about it.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 21.3px;">The main thing is to keep it simple so I can get as much work done as possible. There's only one rule – out of bed by 8 to walk and feed the dogs so I can be writing by 9.</span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 21.3px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 21.3px;">A writer’s retreat = being by one’s self to write. This can be done in the bathroom for 20 minutes while kids (hopefully) nap. Or 10 minutes. </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 21.3px;">Or 2. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 21.3px;">A writer's retreat doesn’t have to be a dog/house-sitting gig, a formalized-you-pay-lots-of-money weekend at a university, or a trip to the local coffee house. Anywhere with just you and your writing tools will do. For as long as time allows.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal; text-transform: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">According to <a href="http://history.com/">History.com</a>, commonly referred to as The History Channel, people have been making Jack O'Lanterns for centuries. The custom originates from an Irish myth about a a man named "Stingy Jack." Back in the day, the carved out turnips, potatoes, or beets (that's what they used in the old country) were referred to as "Jack of the Lantern." Then it was shortened to Jack O'Lantern. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-transform: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-transform: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">An apostrophe is used in the contraction O'Lantern. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-transform: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-transform: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Apostrophes are best known for indicating possession. Maybe that is why they get so mucked up in contractions. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-transform: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-transform: none;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Often, the open single quotation mark is used in place of the apostrophe. Here's a good example:</span></div>

For example, chop </span><i style="line-height: 24px; text-transform: none;">wi</i><span style="line-height: 24px; text-transform: none;"> </span><span style="line-height: 24px; text-transform: none;">out of</span><span style="line-height: 24px; text-transform: none;"> </span><i style="line-height: 24px; text-transform: none;">I will,</i><span style="line-height: 24px; text-transform: none;"> </span><span style="line-height: 24px; text-transform: none;">throw in an apostrophe, and you have</span><span style="line-height: 24px; text-transform: none;"> </span><i style="line-height: 24px; text-transform: none;">I’ll. </i><span style="line-height: 24px; text-transform: none;">The resulting word is shorter and faster to say, with only one syllable (sound) instead of two.</span></span></h2>
