Hi everybody!
Hi everybody! Just checking in to make sure everyone's on task and has a project in mind. If you don't have a project in mind, well, we can help with that too! Just let us know, tell us the sorts of things you're interested in and good at, and we'll help brainstorm with you.
After our first live session, I went back and looked at Grammar for Indies, my current work in progress... and I had a sort of breakthrough. I think I need to dive it into either two books, or two sections--one on grammar, one on punctuation. Naturally, I have some grammar written and some punctuation. But not all of either section. :)
I still want to write something on using Facebook in English, and my third book-in-my-brain is on health tips for writers. I mean dealing with things like carpal tunnel, stiff shoulders, poor posture, sitting all the time, scheduling breaks and exercise, eye care, maybe some diet stuff. That one isn't even started, but I have a lot of ideas in my head.
I have a long airplane trip coming up on Wednesday, so that is some writing time for me, and also a week in Canada towards the end of the month which is my own 'writing retreat.' So hopefully I can finish a book with the rest of this class. :) You don't have to critique my stuff--you'll be busy enough with your own--but I'm happy to share my WIP (that stands for 'Work In Progress') if anyone wants to watch.

No wonder you have so many title to your credit - an example to us all.
ReplyDeleteWhere will you be in Canada?
ReplyDeleteVancouver. Drop by! :)
ReplyDeleteThought so. How nice. Unfortunately I am a 4 1/2 hour plane ride away. Do enjoy. Those $US will go far!
ReplyDeleteFacebook in English sounds like a great book! The paper I wrote related to the use of FB to enhance language skills. We have been using at the university I work at since 2009 with relevant effects on English improvement! Nice idea Dorothy!
