Book(s) My Book(s) and Home Schooling information To home school or not to home school
At the moment I am still taught about home schooling my son who is four in January. I have enrolled him in a school I would love for him to attend but there is not an 100% chance that he will get in. We have already looked at the home schooling options and linked with other parent's who home school. I have also started buying home education books for him to work from. Next year I am looking at going back to work due to not being an home owner but if I was an home owner home schooling would be a defence yes due to me not having to pay to rent a home and rely on the support of the local government for benifits. Like with anything in life you do not know what is around the corner so at this moment in time I will take each day and see how things go.

Week before Nursery Starts
Week before Nursery
starts.
I can not believe
that the summer holidays is almost over. And that both of my
children will be off to nursery. I think to myself BREATH! 15 hours
a week and no children. The only reason that this happening is due
to be being able to claim the 2 year funding.
I think to myself IF
I did not get the two year funding what would have done? Only my
oldest would be nursery and the youngest still at home. BUT that is
not bad thing, after all children grow up so fast. You blink and you
miss it.
I have worked since
I was 15years old so now it is time to have a break to be a mum and
take care of someone other myself full time.
SO 15 hours per week
what is my plan? Thinking about it, I only have 3 hours per week
after dropping them off each day and waiting to pick then up to
really do anything.
So I ham going to
try and put a plan together and take things from there. The main
thing that I would like to do is be more clutter “FREE and to
remove any thing from my life that I no longer need.
I am looking at
sorting out all of my books first and only keeping the ones that I
love, need and are not damaged.
Since having the
boys, I have read more and this is something that I love to do and
wish I had more time to do.
So my first Aim is
to read one book by Christmas and work on my own book to get the
final prof reading over and done with.
So this weekend I
will spend it with my children finish and before “nursery”
shopping and get ready for the first week back.

Going though my books.
Today I am going to be going thought all of my books and seeing which ones I would like to keep and which ones I am going to get rid of.
One of the things that "Richard and Judy" do to see if a book is any good and will make it to the best sellers list/book of the year is to read the first 100 pages.
What I and going to do with the help of Good Reads is only listen to the audio fro each book of read the fist chapter.
I will also do some research into the author and what publishing company they used too.
So I best start get reading.

My book
I
am so mad!! Not at other people but myself due to how long it is
taking me to finish at lest one of my books! There are so many
reasons I can give as to why it is not finished.
But
the main one is me!
I
have been writing since I was 10 and have never stooped but every
time I think that I am also done and have people prof work my work.
It just makes complicating it never ending.
So
may be now I just say STOP! Bite the bullet after one more prof read
and see what happens.
The
problem is that I have the habit over over thinking things and not
making sense when it comes to putting pen to paper due to having
dyslexia.
It
makes people laugh to read my work due to the amount of mistakes that
I have made and so maybe I should write comedy
The
thing is that when it is complete I know that just like me people
will love or hate it. Such is life. I never really read other
peoples work in fear of copy right and I tend to write about things
though actually being in the moment.
That
dose not mean that I am going to kill some one to know how it feels
to do so. It just means that with imagination any thing is possible.
But when writing about key events in history or medical research one
must stick to the facts.
I
ave just finished watching a few sea rise that have derived from
books.
“The
Red Tent”
“The
Handmaids Tale”
“Outlander”
All
of which have been very helpful in trying to encourage me to make
sure that my book dose take direction, is in order and if you go back
and fourth in a time line that it makes sense. This is something
that I have had a big issuer with and have been pulled up on by my
“prof readers”
I
have also been warned about being “PC”, but then I have to remind
myself when is my book set and what would have been classed as “PC”
in that time. Epically with the words and language that I use.
For
example that used the word Barbecue in Outlander.
-
Mid
17th cent.: from Spanish barbacoa, perhaps from Arawak barbacoa
‘wooden frame on posts’. The original sense was ‘wooden
framework for sleeping on, or for storing meat or fish to be
dried’.
Although
this seams and spears to be quite a modern used word in every day
language I thought that it came from Australia, but then it may have
been English due to the amount of British people that where sent to
Australia in the past.
With
out reading the book I do not know IF this word is in there or would
have been used by one of the characters. I would have to put more
research into this.
This
is something that I have been doing with my own book and know that
things that times can and will be lost in translation and not be word
perfect.
One
of my main characters is from Scotland, and some of them live in
France for a short time and South Africa so I have had to take into
account how works may change, and ascents will very. For at times
people who are Dutch sound like they may be from South Africa like
people have confused Australasian accent with New Zealand.
So
over this year I have taken a step back to consider these things and
those programmes have helped.
