Problems With Sending/Receiving Ghostwriting Files
The internet has thoroughly spoiled me. I send files as attachments to my clients and they send edited, commented versions back to me. It’s become so routine I forget not everyone knows how to do this.
A client recently sent me a word file that was 11 pages of little squares… don’t you hate it when that happens? Of course, it’s impossible for me to tell in San Diego what went wrong on the east coast. I remembered my client has a teenage son. A brief discussion with him and I expect the file to arrive in a couple of hours as a real word file, with no little squares. Not only that, the son can teach his dad the way to attach the file from the home email rather the much more complex method of copying to a disk, taking the disk to the office and emailing from there.
I love it when the solution ends up being easy.
Write well and often

When in doubt, plain text files (ending in .txt) always work. Love your blog, by the way, and looking forward to your posts in the new year. Thanks so much for what you do.

right now I’d settle for a blank email!
