On Writing A Book
Two years ago, during our internet-free days, I began outlining and writing a book. It was called "Cooking During Stolen Moments - An Affair With My Kitchen." Sound familiar?
The book writing got pushed aside in favor of blogging and I don't regret that for one second. But when I attended the Book Deals session at Blissdom, my interest in was piqued again.
I've actually dreamt of writing since I was a little girl. I started my first fiction book in 4th grade. I still have the notebooks somewhere I'm sure. My interest has shifted from writing fiction to non-fiction, but it's still there nonetheless.
Have you ever thought about writing? Maybe you've considered turning your blogging into a book deal. Well, over at Happy To Be At Home, I'm sharing everything I learned during the book deal session at Blissdom. Here is Part 1 and Part 2.
The middle shelf holds all of Isabelle's text books and school papers. All of her other books are kept in her personal cabinet since they aren't specifically "school-only" books. The shelf below that is where I keep papers, coloring books, etc. for Alex and Olivia.
Here are all of the textbooks and workbooks that will probably be reused someday for Alex, Olivia, and Gracie.
This is the pile of all the papers and projects that I decided to keep. I put them in a legal-sized brown envelope and put it in the same box as all of the books. It will be fun to look through when we need to pull out the third grade box in the future. Then I'll let Isabelle decide what, if anything, she'd like to keep for her own memory box.
Here is the finished product. The packing box will go in storage for now. The magazine holders and empty red box will go back in her cabinet to be filled with all the new, fourth grade books. The few books left are some that we need to finish up over the summer.
