This Artical was very helpful for me to write a personal essay.

Thank you for your expertise regarding essays and memoirs.

I will be working at trying to make the deadline for the month of November 30th.

Shay -- I'm sorry you had a problem with the article. I re-posted the PDF, but I'm not sure if that will help. If you still can't read the full article, please email me at mlundin@writermag.com, and I'll send you the PDF by email.

Thanks!

Very good, but the rest of the article did not download, only the first page. Tried it twice more, same results. Would really enjoy reading the rest of it.
