When you endeavor to write a book, especially for the first time, it is very important to set aside specific time to write it. Writing on a regular basis is a new habit that you need to learn. Just like every other thing in life that you do all the time, you had to discipline yourself to do it regularly.
In my own experience and when helping clients with time management it is important to set aside your high energy time when you need to write. The other important things to consider are your schedule, the deadline you have for finishing your writing project and how much time you need to spend writing to meet your deadline.
The way we're going to figure this out is to work backwards to find where you have available time and how much you need. We will use an example project to do the figuring and then you can insert your dates, deadlines and numbers. Then you can do the math to figure the details for your writing project.
First, let's look at your project deadline. Let's say you have 6 months to write your book.
Second, let's look at how much time you need to write the book. Let's say you will write 12 chapters. (That means you will write approximately 2 chapters each month). You can't count on that 100% because some will probably take more or less time than others, but at least it gives you a guideline. You also have to take into account the time you will need to go back and read what you've written. Of course, we all tend to make changes when we reread our stuff.
Third, in order to write 2 chapters a month how much time do you need? Now this is the most individualized part of this equation. Some people can sit down and write and everything just flows from their fingertips onto the paper. Others sit and dwell and stare at the computer hoping the words will flow from their fingertips. You know which person you are and should plan accordingly.
For the sake of argument let's say a chapter will take you 6 hours to write. That means about 12 hours each month. That can break down several ways. It is 40 minutes a day, 2 hours every 3 days, 3 hours a week and so on.
Decide on what is a realistic time limit for you to set. Forty minutes a day versus 3 hours every Saturday require different disciplines. Which fits who you are?
Now comes the time to look at your schedule. Do you work all week and have to write on the weekends? Do you work all week long but would like to get up early or stay up late to do the writing daily? What feels right to you? Which do you really think you can commit to doing regularly?
Lastly, let's look at your energy level. When are you at your absolute best? Is it in the morning with your coffee? Do you get that sudden burst of energy right after lunch? Do you work best at night when perhaps it's quieter and you can really work without disruption from phones or emails? Maybe you have certain days or nights when your spouse or kids are out and that is the time to take advantage of for your new endeavor.
Whatever you choose for your schedule, make a real commitment to it. It can always be tweaked if you need it to be. Sometimes the most difficult part is the planning, but think how wonderful and proud you will feel once you've completed your book.
The idea is to have your writing become a habit. The habit only has to work for YOU! Writing, just like everything in life, is not one size fits all. Find what works for you in your life. Once you've become accustomed to doing it regularly and see the progress you're making it will be magical! Enjoy it!

Dispelling Myths About Writing Childrens Books | Writing fo
Go Green for Preschool: Using Recyclables to Teach Your Child
Under your supervision, your child's booster seat at the kitchen table can be transformed temporarily into a "school desk", on which fun, homemade manipulatives can be sorted and formed into letters and numbers. If you cringe at the mentioned of the word "homemade" and think only the "Martha Stewarts" of the world can handle that-be assured-my suggestions are easy with a capital "E".
"Recycling" Creativity
Recyclable items are everywhere in your home, look around at what you routinely recycle or throw out. Toilet paper rolls can be collected and turned into puppets. If you are not the artistic type, don't fret-a quick marker-drawn face on one end of a toilet paper roll and instantly you have a Superhero! Kids love to pretend, so with just some encouragement from you, and that "artistic handicap" of yours will help them exercise their imaginations. Have your little ones insert their fingers in the center-and your puppet comes alive for the cost of the ink! Gather your recyclables and do a little brainstorming!
Gather Up Collections of "Stuff"
I collected lids from milk and juice bottles, disinfected them, and tossed them aside in a plastic container on my counter. Within a few weeks, I had an interesting collection that were great for learning patterns, an important pre-reading and pre-math skill. Look for plain-colored plastic lids vs. the ones with writing on them. Collect ones that match in size and color, and also collect a variety of sizes for sorting. Add a few plastic bowls and you can play endless sorting games! "Going Green" never was such fun!
Look At "Junk" Differently
Ideas will abound when you check-out your recycling bins. Margarine tubs with lids can be slit at the top, and "Presto" you have a cash register for playing money games. Egg cartons can be transformed into boxes for you child's collections. Newspaper taped together can be morphed into large sheets of drawing paper. Kids love to color to "themselves" after having their whole bodies outlined with fat markers on a large sheet of paper.
Old magazines can be treasure troves for photographs to decorate your creations. We glued magazine, cut-out photos to paper plates, tied them together on one side with yarn and made instant "books". This is a fun way to allow your child to practice her "writing" skills. I still have a motorcycle-themed book in my son's keepsake box! Include your child in this discovery process. You can ask him, "How can we use these plastic lids for school?" You will be amazed at the suggestions you will get!
Explore New Ideas For Old Items
Once you start on the adventure of making your own preschool supplies you will never look at a box the same way again! Shoeboxes can be transformed into panoramas with glued-in miniature toys and crayon-colored backgrounds. Appliance boxes decorated by your preschool artist and with windows cut-out (by an adult); can become a cozy "Reading Room". Just add a light source through the "ceiling" and throw some pillows inside.
Cereal boxes can yield a harvest of colorful, cut-out letters. Cover them with clear contact paper and they last forever! Busy, little fingers love to sort them. Empty shoe boxes decorated with construction paper, convert into light-weight building blocks. Your child's architectural designs with be limitless and environmental-friendly!
Brainstorm Around The House
Look around your home for inexpensive items that you normally stock. Dried beans and spray-painted pasta make excellent finger-friendly counters. I found numerous uses for bulk-bought plastic straws and coffee stirrers. We bound them together to show One-Tens-and-Hundreds. We formed letters with them on the floor. We used them as puppet arms.
Multi-shaped pasta and Fruit Loops can be used to make patterned necklaces. Tape one end of a length of yarn to a table top and let little fingers do the threading. Remove and tie in a bow and let the Artist wear her masterpiece. Paper plates can be transformed magically into masks. Coffee filters are great for mini-drawing paper, puppet hair, and mini-Art frames. Your house is full of preschool curriculum!
Keep you eyes open and let your imagination run wild! Cookie sheets can double as a surface for magnetic letters or a base for messy projects. Bowls, pans, and lids can be musical instruments, just add a plastic serving spoon and a child's energy! It might be noisy, but it is unbeatable (excuse the pun) as an introduction to rhythm for little ones. Drums made from round oatmeal boxes decorated with construction paper are easy to make. Paper towel rolls, with wax paper and a rubber band on one end, can be turned instantly into a kazoo! You and your child can make music with things that you already have in your house.
Handmade vs. Manufactured
Contrary to what you think "expensive and factory-made", does not equal "educationally-successful", or for that matter, "memorable". My oldest daughter, who recently graduated with honors from a local public high school, still talks with fondness of the homemade school supplies we used in her preschool years. She recently paid me the greatest compliment by saying she wanted to teach her kids in the exact same way that I taught her.
I'm not saying throw out every whirling, buzzing, manufactured gizmo that overflows from you child's bedroom, but I am encouraging you to move toward the fun and simplicity of homemade toys and games. You will never regret it! It's Green and it's cheap--good for the environment and your bank account!

Having been reading aloud to your child's time to start guided reading
Having been reading aloud to your child's time begin guided reading. Guided reading is when children can read themselves. With guided reading always start with something easy to read to help build confidence.
Usually, your child should be able to understand about 90% of the book. It is best to start with picture books for your child can see in the pictures for words. This is where phonics comes into play
If your child can read the word phonetically, then we hear the word. You should see the lights light on his face when he realizes the word. When children begin to say words phonetically they say they too slow so it means nothing. It should say: "Say the word faster." Some children have problems running the phonetic together so instead of saying a word they say each sound phonic. With practice you will improve.
guided reading is in the planting of reading strategies in the mind of your child. If she gets stuck on a word ask if any part of the word she knows. For example: the word. "Ask if you can see part of the word is understood and if she says 'heard' and then ask him to pronounce 'ear' with a 'b' in front.
In this way the child learns to read new words by using what is already knows.
When your child gets stuck on a word that must not say the word immediately. It is better to let your child try and work itself. Guided Reading is to leave your child take responsibility for their reading.
Church Letter Writing Success Mini Course - Tip 10 of 13
Church Letter Writing Success Mini Course - Tip 10 of 13 It is recommended you use all 13 Tips in your Ezine
Our tenth lesson in "13 Tips For Church Letter Writing Success" will again build off the letter "T" in our Church Letters acrostic.
So far, we have looked at the following: C - Be Clear H - Be Hopeful U - Be Understanding R - Be Responsive C - Be Consistent H - Be Helpful
L - Be "Letter-Ready" E - Be Evangelistic T - Be Tactful
Today, we will take a look at:
T - Be Timely This is similar to a previous point on being "Letter-Ready".
Being timely is knowing when to send a letter or e-mail and then sending it off with a prayer for God's anointing and blessing to be upon the reader as they open it.
In the "Send Out Cards" system (www.churchcards.net), the founder of the system Kody Bateman encourages people to send cards when they are "prompted" within themselves to do this. Well, as Christians, we know that this "prompting" is often the Holy Spirit speaking to us to reach out and minister in some way.
This could be through the sending of a letter, or card, or performing a "random act of kindness" to bless someone in need. Some great ideas for this can be found at www.servantevangelism.com
If you say you are going to send the person a note, or follow up with a phone call, or show up at a certain time, then be a keeper of your word. James 5:13 - "Above all, my brothers, do not swear--not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned."
While ministry leaders are busy, and rightly so, there can be nothing so discouraging for a person to sit and wait for an expected phone call that was promised in service on Sunday!
None of us will ever have the perfect memory, yet we don't want to develop a character trait of forgetfulness that in turn will be seen as a non-caring attitude.
Use reminder tools such as Outlook, or PDA's, or just an old fashioned notebook! (Just don't forget to check your notebook!)
Below is your tenth complimentary letter which you may modify and use in your own church communications.
(Congratulations on New Business)
I’m writing with a glad heart to congratulate you on launching your new business. I can only imagine the excitement you must feel right now over the blessing that God has granted you.
I trust that you are aware of not only the benefits you can reap from opening your own business, but the real possibility for setbacks. Your God-given strength and courage have aided you at each step toward this goal, and they will not abandon you as long as you seek guidance from Jesus Christ. Be mindful of the message Jesus gave us, that he is “the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” (John 15:5) When we trust in and listen to Him, he will do the same and help us to achieve with Him what we could never do alone. A business founded on the values of Jesus can not only be a successful for its proprietor, but also for the entire community.
Your family here at Christian Life Church wants only to see you do well and do God’s work. I encourage you to spread the news of your new endeavor amongst your friends in the church as they might be interested in your services and supporting your business with their patronage. This is a joyous occasion in which we can come together and assist one of our brothers/sisters in a new enterprise.
If there is any advice or guidance that I can provide, please do not hesitate to contact me at my office. I wish the best for you and will keep your success – spiritual and personal – in my prayers. Remember that you are blessed, and that with Jesus Christ in your life there is nothing that you cannot achieve.
Your pastor,
Rev. John Doe

younger students need worksheets that are easy to follow and understand. There are certain principles or guidelines on how to make these worksheets suitable for young learner. writing worksheets should be age appropriate and complete.
The first step is to consider the correct source or appropriate to use - the fonts bigger, better. Avoiding such as the Roman script as loops and curves of the letters can be confusing. For children, fun fonts such as Comic Sans MS are advisable. Can be used as sources for the spreadsheet especially when sources are required bastard. Note that the font size itself may be different depending on the age of the students. So when writing worksheets for children, font sizes between 14 and 18 are proposed.
Provide enough space between lines is also another key. Another tip is to simplify the instructions. vocabulary complex can be very misleading and often, that increase stress to the student. You can save the spreadsheet is very difficult without boring. Use extreme is sensitive to the distribution of these worksheets. Do not assume that Asian students in particular, appreciate the English alphabet. Other students, like the Chinese, Indian, Japanese and Koreans do have high respect to their traditional cards and this should be considered at all times. Note that spelling knowledge in this case is nothing more than a match for them. Young Asian Students often are taught its first Mother Language and prepare worksheets in English require extra effort on the structure and in the presentation.
Another key spreadsheets written is the amount of time a student spent on it. If you prepare the worksheets with multiple pages, you may end up being at home and lose the interest to finish answering them. So I live in preparation of all time!

How to Choose the Right Language Arts Program for Your Homeschooling Child
The greatest advantage in the homeschooling is the freedom to select the curriculum. You as parents should not make any mistake in selecting the right subjects, as this affects the success of the child.
If the concept is new to you and are facing difficulty in choosing the right curriculum, then converse with other home schooling families about the materials popularly used and the subjects. You can gain vast knowledge from the experiences of other people.
Finally, trust your instinct, as there is no one better than you as a parent who can think of what is best suited for the academic pursuits of the child. Select a curriculum that suits the needs and interests of your child.
Reading and writing are two main skills, which a child should master, in an educational program. Without these basic skills, he will face difficulty in mastering and learning other skills.
There are various methods to teach reading and writing to a child including phonic instruction, vocabulary, grammar and spelling. When you home school your child, you must teach your child reading and writing. Many curriculum choices are available online and in text form.
. Preschool language - As you start reading out stories to your child, he begins to love the process. He also learns other skills along the way like identifying the front and back of the book, how to hold the book and how to turn the pages gently. The child also starts recognizing alphabets and displays an interest in phonics as he learns the alphabet and the various sounds of the alphabet. At this stage, the main thing to do is to engross the child in the reading activity and begin teaching him pre-reading skills.
. Kindergarten and First Grade - Once you begin the formal education of reading and writing, you can start teaching alphabet sounds and phonics. This technique is available via the various phonics based reading programs readily available in the market. You can teach writing skills to your child by using worksheets. Writing skills are accentuated by first teaching a child how to hold a pencil correctly.
When a child moves to the second or third grade, the focus should shift from reading to writing. You can teach your child vocabulary as a part of literature and teach the meaning of words in a story.
From the sixth and seventh grade, the students increase their theoretical thinking and reasoning skills and this is the right time to analyze literature. Many home schools curriculum programs use the techniques of living books to involve the students to develop ideas about their reading and writing skills.
The key to a successful reading and writing program is to focus on real literature. You should select a subject that interests your child and urges him to read good literature.
There are many resources available for home schoolers. You can choose either single subject curriculum that includes text-books as well as the materials required by the teacher or the Unit Studies program, which integrates writing, reading and literature into an all subject area instruction, based on a theme.

Article Marketing: How to Build an Empire Writing Five Articles a Month
Do you offer a truly brilliant product or service? Do you wish you had more leads to sell it to? Do you need to drive more revenue so you have cash on hand to spend on implementing better and better ideas, or to bring on additional staff?
If you are answering yes to these questions, YOU NEED A MORE EXCEPTIONAL ONLINE PRESENCE THROUGH ARTICLE MARKETING!
With so much business and research being done on the internet these days, you absolutely have to be found there, and found at least a hundred different ways. Anything less and you are missing out on TONS of business that you could be creating! Do you have any idea how much more revenue you could be generating if you took the time to craft a well written article marketing campaign?
Im telling you its millions! Let me show you how&
For the purpose of this article, we will already assume that your website does an exceptional job of describing the pain of your customers (what are they looking for?), presenting your credentials (to help the visitor see why you are qualified to solve their problems), and providing the solutions to your customers everyday problems. Well assume that it is filled with calls to action (provocative statements intended to poke the visitor into doing something) and opt-in opportunities (ways for you to collect visitors contact info).
If your website does not yet include all of these elements address these issues first!
If it does, READ ON AND LETS DISCUSS THE POWER OF ARTICLE MARKETING.
When people have a question, they go to Google, Yahoo or MSN and they type in a list of keywords or keyword phrases. The words they type determine the list that comes up on the search engines and it is there that magic can happen. YOUR WORDS CAN APPEAR! Are they up there now?
TIME OUT: Go to a search engine and type in the keywords someone might use if they were looking for someone to solve the problem that your business solves. Do you come up as the solution? Do you come up in the organic list? Do you come up multiple times? If not, keep reading!
YOU NEED ARTICLES OUT THERE DOING YOUR WORK FOR YOU!
When someone is looking for a business like yours, does your voice ring out from the heavens, providing guidance, words of wisdom, and words of inspiration? Does Google bring them to your front door and invite them in to look around?
Articles are like little sales people, and brilliantly, they are little sales people that you only have to hire one time to work for you FOREVER. Let me say that again, because you probably didnt hear me. Articles work for you FOREVER. F-O-R-E-V-E-R.
The reason I emphasize this is because of the power of article marketing. Every time you put together an article and send it out onto the internet, you are putting in place a sales person that will forever deliver your message. Do that again and again and you are putting out a SALES FORCE each of which you pay only once!
WRITE ARTICLE, SUBMIT ARTICLE, REPEAT.
WRITE ARTICLE, SUBMIT ARTICLE, REPEAT.
WRITE ARTICLE, SUBMIT ARTICLE REPEAT.
Like the law of compounding interest with money repeatedly putting out articles onto the internet will exponentially create value and generate more and more leads for your business. If you can commit to five articles per month, at the end of three months, youll have FIFTEEN (15) sales people talking your talk and introducing searchers to your message and your SOLUTION to their problem. After six months, youve got thirty (30) of these sales people. At the end of one year, youll have sixty (60). After two years, youll have ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY, and&
After three years, YOULL HAVE NEARLY 200 SALES PEOPLE delivering different and exceptional messages about your business.
And the most wonderful thing, is that they are all little replicas of you. So they are consistent. They deliver different messages, present different solutions, cover different topics, but they all express your unique methodology and the core values and spirit of YOUR business.
If you submit five articles per month, and generate $30,000 per month in revenue, after three years, and one hundred and eighty articles you have the potential of driving $360,000 of monthly revenue. Yes, I said MONTHLY revenue. Thats more than 4 MILLION in annual revenue. Are you kidding me?
So why arent more people utilizing article marketing? The answer is they are. But they are writing terrible articles!!!!! And they are killing their businesses, because each article they are sending out is doing BAD business for them, and doing it FOREVER!
WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BAD ARTICLE MARKETING AND GOOD ARTICLE MARKETING?
Here are five things your article marketing MUST do! (Are you taking notes?)
1. IT MUST HAVE A CATCHY TITLE OR NO ONE WILL READ IT!
We are a snippet society. We read everything in headlines from newspaper stories, to search headlines, to book titles. Titles grab us or they dont. Make sure that yours is clever, provides the solution to the readers problem, and utilizes your keywords!
2. YOUR OPENING PARAGRAPH NEEDS TO HIGHLIGHT THE READERS PAIN.
Look at the first paragraph of this article. Did it draw you in? Did it help you to determine that this article had value? Make the opening emotionally impacting by grabbing the readers attention and identifying with their PAIN!
3. YOUR ARTICLE MARKETING MUST DELIVER VALUE.
It must offer them a solution to their problem. GIVE AWAY YOUR SECRETS! Dont be afraid to give your reader what they need for FREE. Chances are they are going to recognize that they would rather work with an expert than try to solve this problem on their own. Give someone a fish and they have dinner tonight. Teach them to fish and they can feed themselves forever. But open a grocery store down the street and chances are, theyll buy the fish from you. People only have so much time in their days and if they find a trustworthy source that can make their life easier or their business more profitable, they are going to take you up on it!
4. YOU MUST USE YOUR KEYWORDS WITHIN YOUR TEXT.
The search engines are going to identify each article by the words within it. So you have to be thinking about how people are going to find you. What words are they going to use in their searching? There are so many resources on the net that can help you determine the right keywords. Find one and use it. Then repeat those words throughout your article (just shy of being irritating about overusing them) and youll find greater success!
5. LASTLY, YOUR ARTICLE MARKETING MUST PROVIDE A CALL TO ACTION.
Lead the reader to do something. Whether it be to download your eBook, call you directly, or click onto your website. Typically, you want to lead them to the next thing they can get for FREE. People like FREE. So lead them to your website, where they can download an eBook that solves this same problem but in more depth, or better yet, offer them a FREE strategy session if they contact you by email. Make it easy for them, like Hey, Ill even have my assistant set up a time for me to talk to you directly for 20 minutes about ways you can build your business based on these principles. FREE.
Wishing you the best in business and the best in life.
