Writing My Book--The Old Fashioned Way
So I did it. I read a book that really got me to thinking. Then about an hour later, I started writing my own book. Obviously, it's no where near ready to be read by others. However, I think I have something good....so far!
Anyways, although I love my computer and typing, I am doing it the old fashioned way. I have been writing it by hand. :)
Every day in class, I have my kids write for 5 minutes to clear their heads of all the high school drama so that we can focus on class. Many times I write with them. I have one of those composition books (the sewn together kind) and I write in it. I try to carry it with me so if I have a minute before/after doing something else, but sometimes I forget!
So, I have been writing it in. Some days I barely write a page. Some days, I write 5. So far, I am loving writing like this. This will be the FIRST draft. Then when I get around to typing it, that will be the SECOND draft and first edit!
I guess eventually, I am going to have to think about copyrights, publishing, a pic for the cover, etc. For now, I'm focusing on writing so that I can do what I have always wanted to do.....WRITE A BOOK!
