Business continues to move along at a good pace…I’m having lots of fun with a new project…content editing a client’s memoirs. This is loads of fun and this client is a pleasure to work with. We’re making real progress rounding out his writing and adding some details to make it even more interesting to the readers. I need to market myself better to get more jobs like this. The best projects are ones that don’t seem so much like work!

I’ve been extremely busy with my clients and haven’t gotten back to recording my second edition of my podcast. It’s a shame, because I enjoyed doing it and it could turn out to be good publicity. I plan to write my notes for my second episode this week. I’ve come up with some great ideas for show topics. This has been a real interesting week and I’ve gained lots of material on how to work with a VA!

Ahh, and since I promised back in September…here’s my update on kidwriting. I was a little skeptical of how it would work, but I’m a believer. My kindergartner has made great strides in his writing, which still amazes me, because 30 years ago, when I was in kindergarten, we were playing trucks, painting and learning our ABC’s. This is way different. But back to kidwriting…I volunteer twice a month and have found it very interesting. It’s kinda neat to think you’re helping kids at the very beginning of learning to write, unlike what I normally do, helping adults learn to write better. It’s so neat to see them make progress. They take out these huge tablets of paper and draw whatever picture they want on the left side and the sentence that explains it on the right. Today they had assessments and the kids had to do it totally on their own. My son said he drew a picture of himself relaxing in the tub listening to the SG Show ( a kids podcast) and wrote “I am relaxing in the tub.” It doesn’t come home until the book is filled up, but my guess is he wrote something like, “I am relksing in the tb. He writes all the sounds he hears as he writes the sentence. He’s doing well with it. And all the kids are improving their writing skills, which also helps them with their reading. But, I’m a believer.

Stay tuned…
