I'm a Writer! I'm a Writer! I'm a Writer!

There is a lot happening on the writing front.
First I never mentioned, gentle readers, that I have already been published in a book about homeschooling that was originally going to be titled "Juggling with Hamsters". It is only an excerpt about the length of an average blog entry in the back of the book - or so I'm told. I've never gotten my complimentary copy.
Second, today I sold my first Homeschool Co-op Planner! Woo hoo! That got me pretty juiced up about writing.
Third, I finished a chapter I have been working on about unschooling, and was rather happy with the outcome. The lady that is putting the project together contacted me and said it was the first entry that didn't have to have any editing - none, zero, zilch! When I wrote back and told her I wanted to be a writer - she replied, "You are a writer! You don't have to become one!"
Wow - so I am.
Very cool.

I'm Published - My First Ebook!

Woo hoo! I am so excited there could be two of me. I have always wanted to be a "published" writer - and with the beauty of Adobe PDF files, and the internet, I have managed to assemble my first ebook. It isn't a literary work - although I may have some of that in me, but it is a co-op planner for homeschoolers. It is complete with detailed instructions on how to plan and manage a co-op, and includes printable forms to use, an idea list, and a ton of suggestions and recommendations about homeschool co-oping. It should be up for sale in the Schoolhouse Store in the next 24 hours or so! I am jazzed about it!
Oh yeah, and this incredible picture used on the cover was taken by Kate-the-Great, and the amazingly adorable girl smiling at you there is the offspring of my dear friend, Kathie!
