This blog is a daily journal of my random thoughts. I could write about what bothers me, what I did that day, or more than likely, obsess about my 4 self-published books. Check out the "book information" page to find out more!

One more chapter!
I only have one more chapter to write in my book! When I finish that, I am far from done. I still want to read the book over at least two more times to make sure I worded everything the way I want it to be, grammar is correct, and there are no spelling errors. In my first book, I rushed and just published it before many edits were made. After reading over it, I noticed many mistakes and had to republish it two more times. I don't want to waste all of that money again. Then, I need to come up with what the back cover is going to say. I wrote the first two sentences of the back cover awhile ago. Now I need to think of the rest. I'm sure it will flow as easily as my typing right now is once I sit down and do it. Speaking of typing with a flow, a fifth grade class came to the lab today and their assignment was to write about anything and keep writing until they were told to stop. A few students did very well. There were some others that wrote one sentence and said they were done. One kid wrote one sentence about his summer. I told him I could write a book about my summer. Give me details. He only wrote a few more sentences after that. My goal is for my students to write creatively with lots of vivid details. That's why I want them writing every single day like I do. I don't know if you know this, but I really want my own classroom teaching a grade level instead of all of K-6! I love this job, but want more!
